1 Corinthians 13:8

Love never faileth (h agaph oudepote piptei). New turn for the perpetuity of love. Piptei correct text, not ekpiptei, as in Luke 16:17. Love survives everything.

They shall be done away (katarghqhsontai). First future passive of katargew. Rare in old Greek, to make idle (argov), inoperative. All these special spiritual gifts will pass. It is amazing how little of human work lasts.

They shall cease (pausontai). Future middle indicative of pauw, to make cease. They shall make themselves cease or automatically cease of themselves.
