The Love Chapter's Big Tree

What is the relationship between faith, hope, and love in 1 Corinthians 13:13? Paul wrote, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13, NIV). This triad of Christian virtues is mentioned often in the New Testament demonstrating its importance for the Christian life (e.g., 1 Thess. 1:3; 5:8; Gal. 5:5, 6; Heb. 6:10-12; 1 Peter 1:21, 22).
