 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...

 ERRWSQE
