Commentary on Romans 15:13

Theological / Devotional

Hope. Gr. elpis, “trust,” from elpizō, “to hope.” The appellation “of hope” is suggested by the closing clause of v. 12, “in him shall the Gentiles trust.”

Fill. The clause reads literally, “may the God of hope fill.”

In believing. Paul prays that their faith may give them a life full of joy and peace and hope, which are all the results of true faith and of the presence of the Holy Spirit (see Rom. 5:1, 2; Gal. 5:22). Where these fruits of the Spirit are found, there will be love and harmony among believers. Jew and Gentile, strong and weak, all will live together in joy and peace in the common hope of sharing in the glory of God (Rom. 5:2).
