Bible Note: 1 Corinthians 13 will shed light on this for you. First of all in verse 9 it says "in part" which is said in view of the temporary use and purpose of the spiritual gifts. While the church had such helps, the knowledge of spiritual things was but partial. verse 10- "That which is perfect (complete)" has reference to the completed NT also called "the perfect law of liberty" in James 1:25. When that was given to the church, the temporary and partial information derived thru the spiritual gifts was to be no longer necessary thus "that which is in part shall be done away." E. M. Zerr |
