<p> The loss of hope; that state of mind in which a person loses his confidence in the divine mercy. Some of the best antidotes against despair, says one, may be taken from the consideration, </p> <p> 1. Of the nature of God, his goodness, mercy, &c. </p> <p> 2. The testimony of God: he hath said, he desireth not the death of the sinner. </p> <p> 3. From the works of God: he hath given his Son to die. </p> <p> 4. From his promises, Hebrews 13:5 . </p> <p> 5. From his command: he hath commanded us to confide in his mercy. </p> <p> 6. From his expostulations, & 100: Baxter on [[Religious]] Melancholy; Claude's Essays, p. 388, Robinson's edit.; Gisborne's [[Sermon]] on Religious Despondency. </p> | |||

<div> 1: Ἐξαπορέω <div> <audio> </audio> <button> ► </button> </div> (Strong'S #1820 Verb exaporeo ex-ap-or-eh'-om-ahee ) </div> <p> is used in the NT in the Passive Voice, with Middle sense, "to be utterly without a way" (ek, "out of," intensive, a, negative, poros, "a way through;" cp. poreuo, "to go through;" (Eng., "ferry" is connected); "to be quite at a loss, without resource, in despair." It is used in 2 Corinthians 1:8 , with reference to life; in 2 Corinthians 4:8 , in the sentence "perplexed, yet not unto (AV, "in') despair," the word "perplexed" translates the verb aporeo, and the phrase "unto despair" translates the intensive form exaporeo, a play on the words. In the Sept., [[Psalm]] 88:15 , where the translation is "having been lifted up, I was brought low and into despair." </p> <div> 2: Ἀπελπίζω <div> <audio> </audio> <button> ► </button> </div> (Strong'S #560 Verb apelpizo ap-el-pid'-zo ) </div> <p> lit., "to hope away" (apo, "away from," elpizo, "to hope"), i.e., "to give up in despair, to despair," is used in Luke 6:35 , RV, "nothing despairing," i.e., without anxiety as to the result, or not "despairing" of the recompense from God; this is probably the true meaning; AV, "hoping for nothing again." The marg., "of no man," is to be rejected. </p> | |||
