• Conclusion. (I Corinthians 138-10).
• 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. For we know in
  part and we prophesy in part. But when that which
  is perfect has come, then that which is in part
  will be done away.
