13:8
prophecies will cease.
tongues, stilled.
knowledge, pass away.
But love, it never fails. Speaking in tongues, able to prophesy, they're all gift. But Love is not a gift, everyone can have it.
"Love never fails"
This should be contrasted with 13:7 "love always perseveres"... In this light, "love never fails" make much sense. At the same time, this should be contrasted with the next verses. All of others will cease to exist, but only love will remains.
13:13
Faith, hope and love. The greatest of these is love.
First, some explanation:
1. faith is the foundation, the doctrines and all.
2. hope is the attitude that you have to have once you have had the foundation.
3. love is the action of above.
Why is the greatest of these three is love? See 13:1-3.
