Hope(ful)


"But I do freely admit this: In regard to the Way, which they malign as a dead-end street, I serve and worship the very same God served and worshiped by all our ancestors and embrace everything written in all our Scriptures. And I admit to living in hopeful anticipation that God will raise the dead, both the good and the bad. If that's my crime, my accusers are just as guilty as I am.

No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

So then, we are always full of good and hopeful and confident courage; we know that while we are at home in the body, we are abroad from the home with the Lord [that is promised us].

May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.

[Yes] we have confident and hopeful courage and are pleased rather to be away from home out of the body and be at home with the Lord.

Acts 24:14 Psalm 25:3 1 Corinthians 13:7 2 Corinthians 5:6 Psalm 25:21 2 Corinthians 5:8

O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed;
Psalm 25:2
