Moro. 7:42
Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope.

Moro. 7:44
If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.

Moro. 10:22
And if ye have no hope ye must needs be in despair; and despair cometh because of iniquity.
