And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 13:13 Go To 1 Corinthians 13
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
Charity is the bond of brotherhood, the foundation of peace, the steadfastness and firmness of unity. It is greater than both hope and faith. It excels both good works and suffering of the faith. As an eternal virtue, it will abide with us forever in the kingdom of heaven.
