At the end of the three days the officers passed through the midst of the camp,

For in hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?

And now these three [things] remain: faith, hope, [and] love. But the greatest of these [is] love.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

looking forward to the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Let us hold fast to the confession of [our] hope without wavering, for the one who promised [is] faithful.

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

but set Christ apart [as] Lord in your hearts, always ready to [make] a defense to anyone who asks you [for] an accounting concerning the hope [that is] in you.

And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure.

I wait for your salvation, O Yahweh.

At the end of the three days the officers passed through the midst of the camp,

Turn back, my daughters! Go, for {I am too old to have a husband}. If I should think there is hope for me, even if I should have a husband [this] night, and even if I should bear sons,

[Is] not your fear [in God] your confidence? [Is not] your hope even the integrity of your ways?

What [is] my strength, that I should wait? And what [is] my end, that {I should hold out}?

They are disappointed, because they trusted; they came {here} and they are confounded.

"Indeed, there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, then it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not cease;

If a man dies, will he live [again]? All the days of my compulsory service I will wait, until the coming of my relief.

But I myself know [that] my redeemer [is] alive, and [at the] last he will stand up upon {the earth}.

"If I have made gold my trust, or I have called fine gold my security,

for [the] needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall never perish.

I have set Yahweh before me always. Because [he is] at my right hand I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety,

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety, for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol; you will not give your faithful one to see [the] grave. read more. You will make known to me [the] path of life. In your presence [is] fullness of joy. At your right hand [are] pleasures forever.

[By contrast,] I in righteousness shall see your face. Upon awakening I will be satisfied [seeing] your form.

Who may ascend [the] mountain of Yahweh? And who may stand in his holy place? He who is innocent of hands and pure of heart, who does not lift up his soul to falseness, and does not swear deceitfully. read more. He will receive blessing from Yahweh, and justice from the God of his salvation. Such [is the] sort of those who seek him, those who seek your face, even Jacob. Selah

Cause me to walk in your truth and teach me, because you [are] the God of my salvation. I await you {all day long}.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you.

Behold, the eye of Yahweh [is] on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. read more. Our soul waits for Yahweh; he [is] our help and our shield. For in him our heart rejoices because in his holy name we trust. Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us, {even as} we hope in you.

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul, and disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, [for] the salvation of his presence.

This [is] the journey [of those who] have foolish [confidence], and those after them [who] accept their sayings. Selah

Only for God wait in silence, O my soul, because my hope [is] from him.

that they might set their confidence in God, and not forget the deeds of God, but keep his commandments,

I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, because he will speak peace to his people, even his faithful [ones], but let them not return to folly.

They all wait for you to give [them] their food {at the proper time}.

Blessed [is the one] whose help [is] the God of Jacob, whose hope [is] on Yahweh [as] his God,

Yahweh will be {your confidence} and guard your foot from capture.

By his evildoing, the wicked will be overthrown, and the righteous will find refuge in his death.

I set my mind to try to seek wisdom and the plan, and to know that wickedness [is] foolishness and that folly [is] delusion.

Whoever is joined to all the living has hope. After all, even a live dog is better than a dead lion!

For a child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. And the dominion will be on his shoulder, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.

And his {breath} [is] in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by {what he hears with} his ears. But he shall judge [the] poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for [the] needy of [the] earth with rectitude. And he shall strike [the] earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill [the] wicked person with the breath of his lips. And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins. And a wolf shall {stay} with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie down with a kid, and a calf and a lion and a fatling together {as a small boy leads} them. And a cow and a bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together. And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle. And {an infant} shall play over a serpent's hole, and {a toddler} shall put his hand on a viper's hole. They will not injure and they will not destroy on all of my {holy mountain}, for the earth will be full [of the] knowledge [of] Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

So there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that remains, as there was for Israel {when} it went up from the land of Egypt.

He will {destroy} death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe off [the] tears from all faces, and he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken.

Your dead shall live; {their corpses} shall rise. Wake up and sing for joy, dwellers of [the] dust, for your dew [is] {celestial dew}, and the earth will give birth to dead spirits.

For he will speak with {stammering} and another tongue to this people,

He will not grow faint, and he will not be broken until he has established justice in the earth. And [the] coastlands wait for his teaching.

"Listen attentively to me, my people, and my nation, listen to me! For a teaching will go out from me, and I will cause my justice to rest for a light to [the] peoples.

And I will put it in the hand of your tormenters, who have said to {you}, 'Bow down that we may {pass} over [you]!' And you have {made} your back like the ground, and like the street for those who {pass} over [you]."

[You are] the hope of Israel, its savior in time of distress. Why should you be like an alien in the land, or like a traveler who spreads out [his tent] to spend the night?

Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh, and Yahweh is his trust.

Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all [those who] forsake you will be put to shame, and [those who] turn aside from you in the earth will be recorded, for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, Yahweh.

You must not become to me a terror, you [are] my refuge in [the] day of disaster.

"Yahweh is my portion," says my soul, "Thus I will hope on him."

And he said to me, "Son of man, these bones [are] all of the house of Israel; look! [they are] saying, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is destroyed; {we are cut off as far as we are concerned}.'

And many from [those] sleeping {in the dusty ground} will awake, some to {everlasting life} and some to disgrace and {everlasting contempt}.

{And on that day}-- a declaration of Yahweh-- you will call me, "My husband;" you will no longer call me, "My Baal."

And Yahweh roars from Zion; from Jerusalem he utters his voice, and [the] heavens and [the] earth shake. But Yahweh [is] a refuge for his people, and a protection for the children of Israel.

Blessed [are] the pure in heart, because they will see God.

May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven.

But seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these [things] will be added to you.

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took [and] put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole [batch] was leavened."

And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

who also said, "Men {of Galilee}, why do you stand there looking into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!"

"Israelite men, listen to these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as [you] yourselves know-- this man, delivered up by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed [by] nailing to [a cross] through the hand of lawless men. read more. God raised {him} up, having brought to an end the pains of death, because it was not possible [for] him to be held by it. For David says with reference to him, 'I saw the Lord before me {continually}, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken. For this [reason] my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my flesh will live in hope, because you will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will you permit your Holy One to experience decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with gladness with your presence.' "Men [and] brothers, it is possible to speak with confidence to you about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us until this day. Therefore, [because he] was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat {one of his descendants} on his throne, [by] having foreseen [this], he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he abandoned in Hades nor did his flesh experience decay. This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out this that you see and hear. For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." ' Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified!"

But [the things] which God foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, [that] his Christ would suffer, he has fulfilled in this way. Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out, read more. so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he may send the Christ appointed for you--Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all [things], about which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from earliest times.

And we proclaim the good news to you: that the promise that was made to the fathers,

Now [when] Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, "Men [and] brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!"

And now I stand here on trial on the basis of hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,

Therefore I have experienced help from God until this day, [and] I stand here testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what both the prophets and Moses have said were going to happen,

Therefore for this reason I have requested to see you and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain!"

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?"

But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility.

But whenever this perishable [body] puts on incorruptibility and this mortal [body] puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: "Death is swallowed up in victory.

Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, in order that [after you] have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

These all died in faith without receiving the promises, but seeing them from a distance and welcoming [them], and admitting that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth.
