'Hope' in the Bible

Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
