1 Cor. 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Faith receives the promises of God as true… Hope, as an anchor of the soul, keeps it steadfast amid all the storms and temptations of life; but the exercise of faith and hope is limited to the present imperfect state. The one shall be exchanged for sight, and the other shall be swallowed up in fruition. Love is superior to both, as the end is greater than the means; as that which is unchangeable is superior to that which is transitory. (Lothian)
Faith and hope are our own: love is diffused among others. (Calvin)
