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!”

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.”

因為我們得救在於這盼望。然而，看得見的盼望，就不是盼望了；誰會盼望自己所看得見的呢？

而這盼望不使人羞愧，因為神的愛藉著所賜給我們的聖靈，已經傾注在我們的心裡。

耶穌還在說話的時候，有些人從會堂主管的家裡來，對睚魯說：「你的女兒已經死了，何必再麻煩老師呢？」耶穌卻當做沒聽見他們所說的話，對會堂主管說：「不要怕，只要信！」

娜娥米說：「我的女兒們哪，回去吧！為什麼要與我一起走呢？難道我腹中還有兒子將來可以作你們的丈夫嗎？我的女兒們哪，回去吧！走吧，我太老了，不會再有丈夫了！就算我說我還有希望，甚至今夜就有丈夫，而且生了兒子，難道你們會等到他們長大嗎？難道你們會為他們守住自己不嫁人嗎？我的女兒們哪，不要這樣！我的命比你們的更苦，因為耶和華伸手攻擊了我。」
