Romans 15:13

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Read Chapter 15

Clement Of Alexandria

AD 215
If, then, this God, to whom we bear witness, be as He is, the God of hope, we acknowledge our hope, speeding on to hope, "saturated with goodness, filled with all knowledge."

Gennadius of Constantinople

AD 471
By “the God of all hope” Paul means that God has blessed us with the hope of things to come. .

Gregory The Dialogist

AD 604
And again: "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit."

John Chrysostom

AD 407
In other words, may you get rid of your heartlessness toward one another and not be cast down by temptations. You will achieve this by abounding in hope, which is the cause of all good things and comes from the Holy Spirit. It is not just from the Spirit, though, because you must do your part also. That is why Paul adds the words “in believing.”

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
