Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
