1Corinthians 13: 13. Why is Charity greater than Faith or Hope ?

That’s not biblical charity, but man made charity. In the Bible, love can put towards wrong things, things that bring forth sin. Charity cannot.

Prove it. Prove that "no other version can claim this." I think you're completely biased and your assertion is nothing more than the empty wind of the cult to which you adhere.

O really, very well then I wipe my feet.

2 Peter 1:7 distinguishes brotherly kindness from charity: "And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." That undermines your non-specific definitions completely.

Thanks for posting, I hadn’t even noticed how the poster scooted in 1 Timothy 1:5 and not 1 Timothy 4:5 like the post portrayed it to be.

Yea people do trickery things.

Why did you do that?

You know I have heard that there are seven different types of love but I have not been able to find the different kinds in scripture. However it does make sense now that I think about it.
I believe the most well known one is agape love limitless and unconditional but aside from that I don't know.
I mean lust can be described as a kiind of love like fleshly love or the desire of the flesh I suppose how you love your spouse compared to your pet is also not the same kind of love. I think the greeks actually had a more definitive definition of the different types of love

I would offer. Kindness is attribute of love

Brotherly love is the kindness of God working in mankind . What a friend we have in Jesus one that loves perfectly at all times. .

God is Love. Love as a work or labor is first and foremost patient. It then can be kind . Kindness represent the long sufferings needed to be kind then being kind it has no need to envy, love builds on the next attribute all the way to Love rejoice with truth as it is written .

The first work is the hardest. It teaches us where self control comes from . Not my wife. LOL

That’s interesting about the word agape, I’ve learned that the KJV translators translated the Greek word of agape as charity, but it wasn’t widely used in early times and today.

But if I’m not mistaken the KJV has footnotes that refer the word charity as Love.

So I think this whole debate of the thread on charity came from not reading the footnotes of the KJV

on that day when we are with Him, hope will no longer be hope, having been realized, and faith will have become certain knowledge.

all that will remain is love.

if you want to use a different word that's fine.

um dude that's charity to the utmost. no greater charity hath any man.

but is this a thread about why agape remains or why kjv > all ?

The verse right before 13 is another in line in that chapter that is quite interesting as to why they used glass darkly, why didn’t the KJV translators just use mirror, who would know what a glass darkly means. I don’t see a issue with updating the glass darkly to mirror

1 cor 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I’ve heard of looking glass, but the glass darkly is kind of odd maybe that was the slang back then not sure.

2 Peter 1:5-8

Well I have never seen these footnotes I just know what the word agape means though I don't remember where from. I read all kinds of versions of the bible I like to see how everything is in contrast to each version.

Young's Literal Translation
13:13 and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love.

The doing of GOOD is love, it has two parts: the right emotions coupled with the right actions. For example, John 3:16. "For God so LOVED the world, ( speaking of his FEELINGS toward mankind), then, speaking of the ACTIONS, that he GAVE...But 1Cor. 13 is not talking about actions of "love" except in verse three. The word charity is described in verses 4-7 and reveals itself as an INNER CHARACTER of virtues. Love then are righteous acts, but charity is the source that produces them.

Most nodern KJV printings don't include the footnotes. Some KJV-onlyists are unaware that the original 1611 version even had them.
