The F.O.G
[8] Love never fails—never becomes obsolete, never loses its power. But prophecies? They'll become unnecessary. Speaking in tongues? That gift will cease when it's fulfilled its purpose. Special knowledge? It will fade away like stars before the rising sun.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;
