of the expectant-hope
| Root | ἐλπίς (elpís) |
| Core Meanings | expectation, anticipation, hope, confident waiting |
| Semantic Range | expectation of future good, confident anticipation, trustful waiting, ground of confidence, that which is hoped for |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, ἐλπίς signifies more than subjective optimism; it denotes a confident expectation grounded in God's promises and character. As a relational and covenantal concept, it often points to eschatological fulfillment and steadfast trust in divine faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,). The genitive case commonly expresses possession, source, description, or relationship; feminine gender and singular number modify a single abstract noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of ἐλπίς as expectation or confident anticipation, not mere wishfulness. The genitive singular form is reflected by "of the," indicating possession, source, or description, while "expectant-hope" keeps the active sense of anticipating inherent in the root. |
