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 whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. |
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy (prophecies), they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done 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. |
Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth]. |
Love never fails. But whether there are utterances given by a person consisting of divine revelations he has received, they shall cease; whether languages, they shall stop, whether knowledge, it shall be done away; |
|
Love never fails. For if there are prophecies they will be fulfilled and done with, if there are “tongues” the need for them will disappear, if there is knowledge it will be swallowed up in truth. |
Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if now exist ecstatic speaking, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will soon be set aside; |
Charity 26 never 3763 faileth: 1601 but 1161 whether 1535 there be prophecies, 4394 they shall fail; 2673 whether 1535 there be tongues, 1100 they shall cease; 3973 whether 1535 there be knowledge, 1108 it shall vanish away. 2673 |
