9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
KJV
My mind right now is drawn to passages like the ones in Joshua chapter one and this one as well. Jesus will never count His own as lost as we see in verse nine. More new cases […]

14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, […] -

1 Cor 13:12-13 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
KJV
In these dark days we certainly need hope, just as much as faith. But then both are tied together. As I believe what God said it brings me hope. Things have […] -

They are not the only spiritual gifts but these ones are set apart because all others are useless unless these three are exercised. We certainly need faith to serve the Lord and the hope seen here is a hope realized when we […] -

KJV
The last verse in chapter twelve leads into the first verse of chapter 13. (1 Cor 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.)
