(Strong'S #1680 — Noun Feminine — elpis — el-pece' )

in the NT, "favorable and confident expectation" (contrast the Sept. in Isaiah 28:19 , "an evil hope"). It has to do with the unseen and the future, Romans 8:24,25 . "Hope" describes (a) the happy anticipation of good (the most frequent significance), e.g., Titus 1:2; 1 Peter 1:21; (b) the ground upon which "hope" is based, Acts 16:19; Colossians 1:27 , "Christ in you the hope of glory;" (c) the object upon which the "hope" is fixed, e.g., 1 Timothy 1:1 .

"to hope," is not infrequently translated in the AV, by the verb "to trust;" the RV adheres to some form of the verb "to hope," e.g., John 5:45 , "Moses, on whom ye have set our hope;" 2 Corinthians 1:10 , "on whom we have set our hope;" so in 1 Timothy 4:10; 5:5; 6:17; see also, e.g., Matthew 12:21; Luke 24:21; Romans 15:12,24 .
