The God of hope (ho theos tēs elpidos). Taking up the idea in Rom 15:12 as in Rom 15:5 from Rom 15:4.

Fill you (plērōsai humas). Optative (first aorist active of plēroō) of wish for the future. Cf. dōiē in Rom 15:5.

In believing (en tōi pisteuein). “In the believing” (en with locative of the articular infinitive, the idiom so common in Luke’s Gospel).

That ye may abound (eis to perisseuein humas). Purpose clause with eis to, as in Rom 15:8, with perisseuein (present active infinitive of perisseuō, with accusative of general reference, humas). This verse gathers up the points in the preceding quotations.
