Strong's Lexicon elpizó: To hope, to expect, to trust Original Word: ἐλπίζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun ἐλπίς (elpis), meaning "hope" or "expectation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3176 (yachal): To wait, hope, expect - H8615 (tiqvah): Hope, expectation Usage: In the New Testament, "elpizó" conveys the sense of having a confident expectation or trust in something or someone. It is often used in the context of a believer's hope in God and His promises. This hope is not a mere wishful thinking but a firm assurance based on faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, hope was often seen as an uncertain expectation, but in the biblical context, "elpizó" carries a much stronger connotation of certainty and trust. The early Christians lived in a time of persecution and uncertainty, making the concept of hope in God's promises a central and comforting theme in their faith.
