COMMENTARY
ON
LOVE
Understanding God's word, the Bible, is necessary for life. Included is a brief commentary differentiating between the present dispensation and eternity. The following two paragraphs from my sermon "Decency and Order" will augment the commentary.
"Chapter 13 of I Corinthians depicts a time period from the dispensation of the gifts among the early church unto the transformation from the 'body of our humiliation' unto the 'body of his glory' (Phil. 3:21). Knowledge shall vanish away (I Cor. 13:8). There is a contrast between 'partial' knowledge, which exists now; and with 'full' knowledge, whereas one shall know even as he has been known (I Cor. 13:12). In order for the greater to become existent, the lesser must be annulled--that will happen when 'that which is perfect' comes (I Cor. 13:10).
"If the dispensation of the gifts, even though they be from 'part' (I Cor. 13:9), existed from the early church era and will continue to exist until that which is perfect is come (an everlasting era in the future), ... the longevity of the dispensation of the gifts includes our contemporary era."
(I Corinthians 13:8-13)
| "Charity never faileth: but whether there | |
| be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away" (I Cor. 13.8). | |
| Love never fails. Love abides now, and | |
| will abide forever. God is love. God is from everlasting, unto everlasting; hence, love has been from everlasting; it abides in the life of those who obey the Lord Jesus Christ now; it will continue to be present unto everlasting. | |
| The Greek word "fail" in " ... but whether | |
| there be prophecies, they shall fail ..." is "katargatha'sonti," which means "they shall be done away." This word is used in various forms; it is used four times within the verses 8 through 11. The incomplete capacity of knowledge which we have attained at present through the edification of prophecy, while living in a corruptible body, will be changed; we will possess a perfect capacity of full knowledge in Heaven. | |
| Tongues will no longer continue in | |
| Heaven--" ... whether there be tongues, they shall cease." Tongues are a sign for the unbeliever, at least in some particular contexts, and there will be no unbelievers in Heaven. As to speaking in tongues for edification, the apostle gives account of the procedure and interpretation in 14:27, 28. | |
| The vanishing inferior capacity of partial | |
| knowledge that we presently possess will be changed to the complete, superior, everlasting capacity of full knowledge: " ... whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." | |
| "For we know in part, and we prophesy | |
| in part (I Cor. 13.9)." Our scope is limited--we do not have the full picture at the present time. However, the Scripture does say that we know in part; it does not say that we do not have any knowledge. Also the Scripture does say that we prophesy in part; it does not say that we do not prophesy at all . | |
| "But when that which is perfect is come, | |
| then that which is in part shall be done away" (I Cor. 13.10). "But when" signifies "another time"; "that which is perfect is come" signifies that our present "state of being" is lacking. God will do a further work unto the creation and unto the Christian--there is an eternal inheritance to come. | |
| "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I | |
| understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things" (I Cor. 13.11). The premature things of a child "vanish" away into manhood. | |
| "For now we see through a glass, darkly; | |
| but then to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known" (I Cor. 13.12). "For now we see through a glass, darkly" signifies our limited, immature, incomplete state of being, of which we are still in a corruptible body which is about to vanish; "but then" signifies a "future time"; "face to face" signifies our "presence" with God: corruption having taken on incorruption; incompleteness having taken on completeness; "now I know in part" signifies the present; "but then shall I know even as also I am known" is a key which unlocks the shackles of erroneous doctrine which prevents the unenlightened and unstable from understanding the latter part of the thirteenth chapter: "but then" signifies a "time" and a "difference"--a "change"; "shall I know even as I am known" signifies a change from incomplete knowledge unto complete knowledge. God is the only one who is incorruptible and omniscient--the only possible way that we could know even as we are known is that God change us from incompleteness unto completeness; corruption unto incorruption. That change can not take place until the time that the Apostle Paul prophesied: "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" has been fulfilled (I Cor. 15.52). | |
| "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, | |
| these three; but the greatest of these is charity" (I Cor. 13.13). Though faith, hope and charity abide in the life of the Christian today, love (charity) is the most prominent. Nothing pleases God more than for him to see us loving him and one another. Love will continue on the other side of eternity. | |

COMMENTARY (I Corinthians 14:34-37)
| The Apostle Paul refers to the Old | |
| Testament Law,"as also
the law says" as proof of the congruency of
the command for women to be silent and to be
under subjection in the assemblies (I Cor.
14.34). The apostle commands specifically,
"in the assemblies" as to letting the
women be quiet. In 11:4, 5, it seems appropriate
to think praying and prophesying concerns the
conduct of a woman or a man outside of the
assembly. The issue in 11:5 is the covering--the
hair; but the issue of the context in 14:34 has
to do with assembly order: the differentiation of the sexes--the males to speak in the assembly; the women to be quiet and under subjection. |
|
| Here again, " ... for it is a shame for | |
| women to speak in the assembly," as in verse 34, the apostle mentions specifically where--"in the assembly" (I Cor. 14.35). | |
| He sarcastically rebukes the Greeks for | |
| not adhering to the authority of God's word, "What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?" (I Cor. 14:36) | |
| Even though an indefinite pronoun is | |
| used, it is evident the apostle is addressing men: prof-ay'-tace preacher; pnyoo-mat-ik-os' spiritual; both forms of the Greek words denote the male. Both of the words also have feminine forms which would denote the female: they are not mentioned in this verse (I Cor.14.37). | |
