Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him,“ So shall your offspring be.”

When there was no reason for hope, Abraham believed because he had hope. He became the father of many nations, exactly as God had promised. God said,“ That is how many children you will have.”( Genesis 15:5)

In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told,“ So shall your offspring be.”

Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping— believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him,“ That’s how many descendants you will have!”

He believed, hoping against hope, so that he became the father of many nations according to what had been spoken: So will your descendants be.

In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken,“ So shall your descendants be.”

我们得救的人有这个盼望。不过，看得见的盼望根本不算盼望，因为谁会盼望已经看见的呢？

这种盼望不会落空，因为上帝的爱借着所赐给我们的圣灵已倾注在我们心中。

耶稣还在说话的时候，有人从雅鲁家中赶来，对雅鲁说：“你的女儿已经死了，何必麻烦老师呢？”耶稣听了，便对雅鲁说：“不要怕，只要信。”

所以请各位放心，我深信上帝所说的话必然会成就。

拿俄米说：“我的女儿啊，回娘家去吧！为什么要跟我去呢？难道我还能生儿子做你们的丈夫吗？回去吧！我的女儿啊，走吧！我已经老了，不可能再嫁人了。就算我还有指望，今晚能再结婚生子，难道你们能一直不嫁，等到他们长大吗？不要这样，我的女儿啊！这样你们会很苦，我就更苦了，因为耶和华伸手惩罚我。”

盼望无期，使人忧伤；夙愿得偿，带来生机。
