17. 2. Endurance The spiritual capacity to withstand hardship, adversity, and stress over time by remaining faithful to God despite trials.

18. 3. Hope Hope is the theological virtue of desiring the will of God with confident expectation, trusting in Christ's promises and the power of the Holy Spirit rather than one's own strength. It is not mere optimism but a firm, active trust that God has not failed and will not fail, providing courage and perseverance through trials and preventing despair.
