1 Corinthians 13:8
Compare all
6 adoes not rejoice in iniquity, but brejoices in the truth;  
7 abears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  
8 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.
9 aFor we know in part and we prophesy in part.  
10 But when that which is1 perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.  
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For anow we see in a mirror, dimly, but then bface to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.  
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:8

Love never faileth - It accompanies to, and adorns us in, eternity; it prepares us for, and constitutes, heaven. But whether there be prophecies, they shall fail - When all things are fulfilled, and God is all in all. Whether there be tongues, they shall cease - One language shall prevail among all the inhabitants of heaven, and the low and imperfect languages of earth be forgotten. The knowledge likewise which we now so eagerly pursue, shall then vanish away - As starlight is lost in that of the midday sun, so our present knowledge in the light of eternity.
