Commentary

love--the leader of the band of graces (Co1 13:1-13). gentleness--Greek, "benignity," conciliatory to others; whereas "goodness," though ready to do good, has not such suavity of manner [JEROME]. ALFORD translates, "kindness." faith--"faithfulness"; opposed to "heresies" [BENGEL]. ALFORD refers to Co1 13:7, "Believeth all things": faith in the widest sense, toward God and man. "Trustfulness" [CONYBEARE and HOWSON].
