1 Corinthians 13:8

Read in context

1 Corinthians 13:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
