How the English word “hope” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
HOPE, noun
[Latin cupio.]
- A desire of some good, accompanied with at least a slight expectation of obtaining it, or a belief that it is obtainable. hope differs from wish and desire in this, that it implies some expectation of obtaining the good desired, or the possibility of possessing it. hope therefore always gives pleasure or joy; whereas wish and desire may produce or be accompanied with pain and anxiety.“The hypocrite's hope shall perish” Job 8:13
- Confidence in a future event; the highest degree of well founded expectation of good; as a hope founded on God's gracious promises; a scriptural sense.
- That which gives hope; he or that which furnishes ground of expectation, or promises desired good.“The Lord will be the hope of his people” Joel 3:16
- An opinion or belief not amounting to certainty, but grounded on substantial evidence.
