Bible Question:
Steve, I dont understand what you are saying. If one can prophesy all mysteries and all knowledge, why does Paul say we only prophesy in part and know in part? How are these not contradictory? What are you saying about pronouns? |
Bible Answer: Chris ... The pronouns in 1 Cor 13:1-3 are I (and there is the word "if"). In verse 9, it is we (where there is no word "if). In verse 9, he also does not mention faith. Now is Paul talking about himself about having partial prophecy and knowledge? Probably, but the other points are not included in verse 9. He says we only do these two in part, because that is our limitation. There is no contractiction between verse 2 and 9, nor with the issue of faith. Steve |
