1 Corinthians 13:8 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Love never fails. Prophecies will end, speaking in tongues will stop, and even our knowledge will become outdated — but love? Love stays.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Everything else has an expiration date, but love is forever.
