1 CORINTHIANS 13 SERIES - Verse 13

  Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
 
And now abideth faith, hope, 
charity, these three; 
but the greatest of these is charity.
Vs.13 
 
And now [in this present life] abideth faith, hope, charity - These three supply the place of that direct vision which no human embodied spirit can have; these abide or remain for the present state. 

 Faith, by which we apprehend spiritual blessings, and walk with God. 
 
Hope, by which we view and expect eternal blessedness, and pass through things temporal so as not to lose those which are eternal.  
 
Charity or love, by which we show forth the virtues of the grace which we receive by faith in living a life of obedience to God, and of good will and usefulness to man.

But the greatest of these is charity - Love is the fulfilling of the law

Those border most upon the heavenly state and perfection whose hearts are fullest of this divine principle, and burn with the most fervent charity
It is the surest offspring of God, and bears his fairest impression. For God is love, 1 Jn. 4:8, 16.
