People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 13:8
Charity never faileth. The superiority of love over all besides is
shown by its survival of all with which it is compared. It is eternal
and imperishable.
Whether [there are] prophecies. The gift of prophesying shall cease.
As a matter of fact, we know that it has long since done so.
Whether [there be] tongues. The gift of speaking in unknown
tongues was transitory.
Knowledge. Even the supernatural knowledge, granted as a spiritual
gift, is temporary. All these were only granted while the church was in
an immature state.
