Love never faileth (
Hh agaph oudepote piptei). New turn for the perpetuity of love.
Piptei correct text, not
ekpiptei, as in
Luke 16:17 . Love survives everything.
They shall be done away (
katarghqhsontai). First future passive of
katargew. Rare in old Greek, to make idle (
argo), inoperative. All these special spiritual gifts will pass. It is amazing how little of human work lasts.
They shall cease (
pausontai). Future middle indicative of
pauw, to make cease. They shall make themselves cease or automatically cease of themselves.
