Hope Hope

'''A — 1: ἐλπίς (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 .
