BIBLE texts on FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.
(see 1 Thessalonians 1:3, 5:8; 1 Corinthians 13:13):

Some, or a lot of the texts I post may not contain any of the words Faith, Hope or Love, this is because I have decided to post verses that contain Hebrew or Greek words that have been translated at least once as Faith, Hope or Love but may not be translated as such every time. Many times they are translated as some other word or words but I post them anyway. So if you wonder why I have posted a text that doesn't have Faith, Hope or Love it is because it contains a Hebrew or Greek word that has been translated as such somewhere else. I have also included words to do with lack of Faith. I Hope that explains things! The highlighted word or words are the ones corresponding to the original Hebrew or Greek. The 1st and 2nd texts are on Faith, the 3rd and 4th on Hope and the 5th and 6th on Love.

And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music. 2 CHRONICLES 34:12 KJV.

Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? ACTS 26:8 KJV.

Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do ye rely that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? 2 CHRONICLES 32:10 KJV.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:11 ASV.

And because he loved your fathers and chose their descendants after them, and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power DEUTERONOMY 4:37 RSV.

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? MATTHEW 5:46 RSV.

Lord, thankyou that you care about man. Thankyou that you see and that you care about tiny things in our lives. Please teach me and all your Children to talk to you more about these things and to learn how to cast our cares upon you. Amen.
