'Hoping' in the Bible

But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

Hoping in spite of hopeless circumstances, he believed that he would become "the father of many nations," just as he had been told: "This is how many descendants you will have."

For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?
