'Hope' in the Bible

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:

He has delivered us from such a terrible death, and He will deliver us. We have put our hope in Him that He will deliver us again

Now we are writing nothing to you other than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely—

For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.

And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

And I hope you will recognize that we do not fail the test.
