| Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. | May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. |
| Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. | Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. |
|
| And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. | Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. |
| For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. | For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. |
| Who will render to every man according to his deeds. | God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” |
| Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. | Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. |
| And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope. | Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. |
| Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. | Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. |
| Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. | Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. |
| And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. | And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. |
