This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...long-suffering, and thus he finds the transition to the third idea of the chapter: the objective permanence of charity. Vers. 8-13. The absolute duration of charity is developed in these last verses: first, in opposition to gifts, then even in contrast to the other two fundamental virtues, faith and hope. Thus the apostle-completes the demonstration of his thought: charity is the supremely excellent way.. Vers. 8-10. "Charity never faileth.1 As to prcphecies,2 they shall be done away; as to tongues, they shall cease; as to knowledges, they shall be done away.1 9. For3 we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away."--The first words: never faileth, are, as it were, the theme of the following passage. This is why the subject: charity, is repeated. The best proof of the absolute value of charity is its eternal permanence in contrast to everything else, even the most excellent; and the subjective persistence of charity in the believer (ver. 7) is the prelude, as it were, of this objective permanence.--It seems as if the verb ought to be in the future; but the present is here, as often, that of the idea.--The two readings: irhrrei and emriirret, have almost the same meaning: the former, however, is the simpler and more probable. An allusion to the spot from which the fall takes place (eV) is unnecessary. The verb iriirreiv, to fall, cannot, as Holsten would have it, refer solely to the value of charity in this sense: It never loses its worth. The following antitheses: shall be done away, shall cease, prove clearly that its duration is the point in question. Prophesying and speaking in tongues will cease, but not loving. 1 T.
