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. |
Bible Question: In 1 CORINTHIANS 12:8 the gifte of "the "word of knowledge". Agter a lengthy search, I am not sure what this gift is and does. I would like to know more about this from scripture. If you can help and USE SCRIPTURE to back up your answer, please. |
Bible Answer: As you would expect there are differing views on this question. Some from 1 Cor 13.2 would see it as a special knowledge concerning spiritual things. This was especially important when there was no New Testament. Compare Col 1.9; Eph 1.17; although with the gift the knowledge would be especially heightened. On the other hand we might see this as the gift of wisdom. Others, because the gift of revelation (1 Co 14.26) is not mentioned would see it as the gift of receiving knowledge about events through revelation, the kind of gift enjoyed by Agabus (Acts 11.28) and Peter (Act 5.1 ff).. In my view the choice lies between these two. |
