Exegesis
The sentence begins with ho de theos tēs elpidos {ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς ἐλπίδος | ho de the-ós tēs el-pí-dos}, where the particle de lightly connects this benediction to the preceding context, and the genitive tēs elpidos characterizes God as the defining source and sphere of “hope.”
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 .
