1 CORINTHIANS 13:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
“Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away — agapē never ekpiptō (falls away, fails), establishing its eschatological permanence; by contrast, prophecy (when the telos comes), tongues, and gnōsis are pauo (cease), revealing their temporary, preparatory nature in the economy of salvation.
