1.1 KiB
Not only this
The word "this" refers to the ideas described in Romans 5:1-2.
we ... our ... us
All occurrences of "we," "our," and "us" refer to all believers and should be inclusive. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive)
certain hope
This is the certainty that God will fulfill all his promises for those who trust in Christ.
that hope does not disappoint
Paul uses personification here as he speaks of "confidence" as if it were alive. AT: "we are very confident that we will receive the things that we wait for" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
the love of God has been poured into our hearts
"Hearts" here is a metonym for the entire human experience. AT: "we have experienced the love of God" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy).
