If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.

For I do not want to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.

who rescued us from so great a danger of death, and will rescue us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,

For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;

Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,

Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are well known to God; and I hope that we are also well known in your consciences.

not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other people’s labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our domain, enlarged even more by you,

For we, through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

to the end that we who were the first to hope in the Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

But I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

because of the hope reserved for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel

if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

constantly keeping in mind your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

For who is our hope, or joy or crown of pride, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? Or is it not indeed you?

Those Who Died in Christ

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope.

But since we are of the day, let’s be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,
