Bible Verses About God of Hope: 12

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

— Romans 15:13 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about God of hope want Scripture on the Romans 15:13 title — theos tēs elpidos — not only the broader Hope inventory alone or Hope of Israel alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about Hope of Israel, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about peace, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about comfort, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about eternal life, and Bible verse of the day. God of hope here means Rom 15:13's elpis title — distinct from the Hope / Hope of Israel lists alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "hope" is ἐλπίς elpis (Strong's G1680; Bible Hub G1680) — expectation, hope, confidence. Paul names God theos tēs elpidos — the God of hope — and asks that he fill you with joy and peace so you overflow with hope by the Spirit. This list tracks that title and related God-as-source-of-hope lines, not every hope verse and not Hope of Israel alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Romans 15 presses the prayer that the God of hope would fill believers with joy and peace in believing (Bible Hub MHC Romans 15; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Romans 15). (Hope and Hope of Israel live on those pages; this list centers the God-of-hope title.)
