Exegesis
The present participle elpizon {ἐλπίζων | el-pí-zōn} functions circumstantially to express Felix’s ongoing expectation, introduced by the conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} that marks the content clause “that chremata dothesetai autō hypo tou Paulou {χρήματα δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου | khrḗ-ma-ta do-thḗ-se-tai au-tôi hy-pó toû Paú-lou},” “that money would be given to him by Paul.” The future passive dothesetai projects this as a potential event, with the dative autō indicating the beneficiary and hypo with the genitive marking Paul as agent.

elpiselpis
“to expect, hope”
In context — Acts 24:26
At the same time he was hoping that money would be given to him by Paul ; therefore he also, sending for him more frequently, was conversing with him.
