Observe —

I. GIFTS ARE TEMPORARY.

1. Imperfect in their nature.

2. Adapted to an imperfect state.

3. Must consequently pass away.

II. LOVE IS ETERNAL.

1. In its own nature.

2. Is the end of all gifts.

3. Must endure in a perfect state of being.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)

KJV: 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.

WEB: Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
