1 Thessalonians 1:3

¹³But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

¹⁹“I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

⁶For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.

²⁴For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? ²⁵But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

¹¹To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

³For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

⁹Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.

⁷But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.

⁸I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

³Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
