1 Corinthians 13:13 As It Is 12 July 2024
1Co 13:13 As it is, these remain:
faith, hope and love, the three of them;
and the greatest of them is love.

I always thought that faith and hope would end at the end of time and in heaven. Today I am reading differently.
As It Is
In verse 12 Saint Paul speaks about what is to come. But now we have something! Faith, Hope and Love. In this letter to the Corinthians, love is considered as a gift. I conclude that faith and hope are gifts as well. And we can ask for those gifts.
Prayer
Jesus, please grant us gifts of faith, hope and love.
