Romans 1513

Romans 15:13 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Epistle to the Romans written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." This passage is a benediction or blessing, encapsulating Paul's prayer for the Roman Christians. The phrase "God of hope" emphasizes God's role as the source of hope, while "joy and peace" are presented as the natural outcomes of faith. The verse underscores the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, enabling them to overflow with hope. In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as "יֵלֵךְ אֱלֹהִים הַתִּקְוָה לְמַלֵא אֶתְכֶם בְּשִׂמְחָה וְשָׁלוֹם בֶּאֱמוּנָה, לְמַעַן בִּכְחוֹל הָרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ תִּשְׂבְּרוּ בַּתִּקְוָה" (Yeilech Elohim haTikvah l'male etchem b'simcha v'shalom be'emuna, l'ma'an bichchol haRuach haKodesh tishberu batikvah). In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is "ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς ἐλπὶδος πληρώσαι ὑμᾶς πάσης χαρᾶς καὶ εἰρήνης ἐν τῷ πιστεύειν, εἰς τὸ ἐν δύναμει πνέματος ἁγίου περισσεύειν ὑμᾶς ἐλπίδι" (Ho de Theos tēs elpidos plērōsai hymas pasēs charas kai eirēnēs en tō pisteuein, eis to en dunamei pneumatos hagiou perisseuein hymas elpidi). The context of this verse is Paul's concluding remarks in his letter to the Romans, where he offers words of encouragement and unity among the believers, emphasizing the importance of hope, joy, and peace in the Christian life.
