Love will never end. But all those gifts will come to an end—even the gift of prophecy, the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages, and the gift of knowledge.  These will all end because this knowledge and these prophecies we have are not complete.  But when perfection comes, the things that are not complete will end.  When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways.  It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as God has known me.  So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.
