1 Corinthians 13:2
_ _ mysteries — (Romans 11:25; Romans 16:25). Mysteries refer to the deep counsels of God hitherto secret, but now revealed to His saints. Knowledge, to truths long known.
_ _ faith ... remove mountains — (Matthew 17:20; Matthew 21:21). The practical power of the will elevated by faith [Neander]; confidence in God that the miraculous result will surely follow the exercise of the will at the secret impulse of His Spirit. Without “love” prophecy, knowledge, and faith, are not what they seem (compare 1 Corinthians 8:1, 1 Corinthians 8:2; Matthew 7:22; James 2:14; compare 1 Corinthians 13:8), and so fail of the heavenly reward (Matthew 6:2). Thus Paul, who teaches justification by faith only (Romans 3:4, Romans 3:5; Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:7-14), is shown to agree with James, who teaches (James 2:24) “by works” (that is, by LOVE, which is the “spirit” of faith, James 2:26) a man is justified, “and not by faith only.” |
1 Corinthians 13:2
And though I have the gift of prophecy — Of foretelling future events. And understand all the mysteries — Both of God's word and providence. And all knowledge — Of things divine and human, that ever any mortal attained to. And though I have the highest degree of miracle working faith, and have not this love, I am nothing. |
1 Corinthians 13:2
And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all (c) faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
(c) By "faith" he means the gift of doing miracles, and not that faith which justifies, which cannot be void of charity as the other may. |
