NASB | 1 Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. |
Subject: Is I Cor. 13:2 possible vs. I Cor. 13:9? |
Bible Note: Dear brother Chris, I agree with you when you say, "With these facts in view, I am leaning toward the interpretation that Paul is exagerating to the point of impossibility in vs 1 and 2 to emphasis the point of Love. I see 'all faith' as perfect faith, including a perfect human faith (I deem this impossible) and a complete gift of faith (administered by the Holy Spirit, I see the gifts such as prophesy, knowledge, and faith as moment by moment gifts that change considering the situation. Therefore, I believe it is impossible to have all gifts of faith from the Holy Spirit.)" So in this light, my interpretation of this verse (or verse together with another verse) is the 'limited interpretation' that Mr. Henry has, and the one that you formerly had. So that is where I am at concerning this verse. I think that a 'broadening interpretation' of this verse is interesting, but I do not see where we could derive that based on the text. This is just my humble opinion! I hope that I have helped in some way.. Your brother in Christ, Nolan |
