And hope
The word "hope" in Greek is "ἐλπίς" (elpis), which signifies a confident expectation or trust. In the context of Romans, this hope is not a mere wishful thinking but a firm assurance rooted in the promises of God. Historically, hope in the biblical sense is anchored in the faithfulness of God, who has consistently fulfilled His promises throughout Scripture. This hope is a central theme in the Christian life, providing believers with a forward-looking assurance of salvation and eternal life.

does not disappoint us
The phrase "does not disappoint" comes from the Greek "καταισχύνω" (kataischynō), meaning to put to shame or disgrace. In the ancient world, hope that failed to materialize would lead to public shame. However, Paul assures believers that the hope we have in Christ will never lead to disappointment or shame because it is grounded in the unchanging nature of God. This assurance is a source of great comfort and encouragement, reinforcing the reliability of God's promises.

because God’s love
"God’s love" is translated from "ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ" (hē agapē tou Theou). The term "ἀγάπη" (agapē) is a selfless, sacrificial love that seeks the best for others. This divine love is the foundation of the Christian faith, demonstrated supremely in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Historically, God's love has been a central theme throughout the Bible, from His covenant with Israel to the sending of His Son. This love is not earned but freely given, transforming the hearts and lives of believers.

has been poured into our hearts
The imagery of "poured" comes from the Greek "ἐκχέω" (ekcheō), which means to pour out or spill. This suggests an abundant and generous outpouring, not a mere trickle. The heart, in biblical terms, is the center of one's being, encompassing mind, will, and emotions. The pouring of God's love into our hearts signifies a deep, transformative experience that affects every aspect of our lives. This outpouring is a continuous process, renewing and sustaining believers in their walk with God.

through the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, or "Πνεύματος Ἁγίου" (Pneumatos Hagiou), is the third person of the Trinity, who plays a crucial role in the life of a believer. The Holy Spirit is the agent of God's love, actively working within us to produce spiritual fruit and guide us into all truth. Historically, the Holy Spirit has been present from the beginning, involved in creation and the inspiration of Scripture. In the New Testament, the Spirit's role is emphasized in empowering, comforting, and sanctifying believers.

who has been given to us
The phrase "has been given" is from the Greek "δοθείς" (dotheis), indicating a gift freely bestowed. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God, promised by Jesus to His disciples as a helper and advocate. This gift is not earned by human effort but is a gracious provision from God, enabling believers to live out their faith with power and conviction. The giving of the Holy Spirit marks the beginning of a new relationship with God, characterized by intimacy, guidance, and empowerment for service.

(5) Hope maketh not ashamed.--This Christian hope does not disappoint or deceive. It is quite certain of its object. The issue will prove it to be well founded.

Because the love of God.--This hope derives its certainty from the consciousness of justifying love. The believer feeling the love of God (i.e., the love of God for him) shed abroad in his heart, has in this an assurance that God's promises will not be in vain.

By the Holy Ghost.--The communication of Himself on the part of God to man is generally regarded as taking place through the agency of the Spirit. (Comp. Romans 8:15-16; Galatians 4:6.)

Which is given.--Rather, which was given--i.e., when we first believed. (Comp. Acts 8:15; Acts 19:2; 2Corinthians 1:22; 2Corinthians 5:5; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30.) . . .
