Exegesis
The repeated en-phrases structure the verse around spheres and means: first en tē elpidi marks the domain in which the believers are to abound, then en dynamei pneumatos hagiou {ἐν δυνάμει πνεύματος ἁγίου | en dy-ná-mei pneú-matos ha-gí-ou} specifies the empowering means, namely the power belonging to the Holy Spirit. Word order keeps ho theos toward the front for emphasis, then cascades through content (joy and peace), sphere (believing), purpose (abounding in hope), and means (power of the Spirit), a flow mirrored in the English renderings to preserve both theological focus and rhetorical build-up.
In context — Romans 15:13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit .
