(Compare: ἀπελπίζω, προελπίζω.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun ἐλπίς (elpis), meaning "hope" or "expectation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3176 יָחַל (yachal): To wait, hope, expect. • H8615 תִּקְוָה (tiqvah): Hope, expectation. • H982 בָּטַח (batach): To trust, be confident, secure. These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of hope and trust in God's promises and character, providing a rich background for understanding the New Testament usage of ἐλπίζω. Usage: The verb ἐλπίζω is used in the New Testament to express a confident expectation or trust in God, His promises, or the fulfillment of His will. It often conveys a sense of assured anticipation of what is good and beneficial, rooted in faith. Context: The Greek verb ἐλπίζω appears frequently in the New Testament, reflecting a central theme of Christian faith—hope. This hope is not a mere wishful thinking but a confident expectation based on the character and promises of God. In the New Testament, ἐλπίζω is often used in the context of salvation, the resurrection, and the fulfillment of God's promises. For example, in Romans 8:24-25, Paul writes, "For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently." Here, ἐλπίζω underscores the believer's confident expectation of future glory and redemption. In 1 Timothy 4:10, Paul states, "To this end we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe." This passage highlights the trust and reliance on God as the foundation of Christian hope. The use of ἐλπίζω also extends to interpersonal relationships within the Christian community. In 1 Corinthians 13:7, Paul describes love as something that "always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Here, hope is an integral part of the love that believers are to exhibit towards one another. Theologically, ἐλπίζω is closely linked with faith and love, forming a triad of Christian virtues. This hope is not self-generated but is a gift from God, sustained by the Holy Spirit, and anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
