These words refer to all believers and should be inclusive. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive)
hope does not make ashamed
Paul uses personification here as he speaks of "hope" as if it were alive. "Hope" is an abstract noun that can be translated as a verb. Alternate translation: "we are very confident that we will receive the things that we wait for" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns)
make ashamed
"make us ashamed"
because the love of God has been poured into our hearts
Here "hearts" represents a person's thoughts, feelings, or inner person. The phrase "the love of God has been poured into our hearts" is a metaphor for God showing love to his people. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "because he has loved us greatly" or "because God has shown us how much he loves us" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
