Dear David,
I share your ELPIS that this topic is OK on b-Greek! I have PISTIS that
it is so...
Taking the cardinal virtues of Faith, Hope and Love:
Faith has a Content: it is Faith IN something or someone.
Hope has a Prospect: it is a confident expectation of a certain outcome.
Love has an Object: it is Love FOR someone.
Just A$0.02 from me this time...
