Regarding your first paragraph, it seems to me that Paul's point focuses on the primacy of love over faith and hope. He uses both the gifts and maturity as examples of the transitory compared to the enduring. As to speaking Korean in an English-speaking assembly, this would make for an interesting topic of its own, specifically in a first-century context. I liked your last two paragraphs.Dieter– Dieter2017-11-25 18:02:18 +00:00Commented Nov 25, 2017 at 18:02

@Dieter I appreciate your comments very much and the helpful spirit in which they were offered. A child will one day reminisce about "I used to love that wagon" but they will cherish their parent's love all their lives and hopefully beyond and more so over time while as adults they will have little interest in playing with their childhood toys. This is what Paul intends to say about the gifts. When we see face to face what do we want a prophecy for?Ruminator– Ruminator2017-11-25 19:03:57 +00:00Commented Nov 25, 2017 at 19:03

I edited the first paragraph to make my point clearer.Ruminator– Ruminator2017-11-25 21:58:46 +00:00Commented Nov 25, 2017 at 21:58

Yes, it's clearer and has better support now. I would add that the enduring is revealed as the transitory falls off. But this does not make the transitory unimportant. As is commonly recognized, play is important for children (and rejuvenating for adults), and it's important that children not skip any developmental stages. Even Jesus grew, as we read in Luke 2:52, "And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Likewise, various gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit should not be shunned. After all, they are functional, needed, and good.Dieter– Dieter2017-11-26 18:49:07 +00:00Commented Nov 26, 2017 at 18:49

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. word-study), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
