Romans 5:4

and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope: "approvedness" -a tried condition,. condition tried and not wanting-used in regard to metal and to coins and implies. testing of their genuineness and their full weight and being accepted when they are found to meet requirements. (Lenski p. 338)

Translations: 'strength of character' (TCNT); 'ripeness of character' (Wey); 'tested character' (Wms); 'proven character' (NASV).

"hope" -and this in turn issues in. stronger and clearer hope.
