- to hope
- in a religious sense, to wait for salvation with joy and full confidence
- hopefully to trust in
You would do well to start using a lexicon and not a concordance, but in this instance, Strong's got the meaning of "hope" right, but then had to add the heresy of hoping to be saved. (See! It has as much usefulness when I use the word!)
"Hope" is never used in the context of salvation. That's heresy! (Thought I'd better work on my quota of the word so I can catch up with you!)
Now, there's the hope of being repaid, hope by itself, hope of gains, the hope of the dead, the hope of glory... Lots of hope, but none of them are hoping to be really and truly born from above!
