1 Corinthians 13:8

Charity never faileth. The superiority of love over all besides is shown by its survival of all with which it is compared. It is eternal and imperishable.

Whether [there are] prophecies. The gift of prophesying shall cease. As a matter of fact, we know that it has long since done so.

Whether [there be] tongues. The gift of speaking in unknown tongues was transitory.

Knowledge. Even the supernatural knowledge, granted as a spiritual gift, is temporary. All these were only granted while the church was in an immature state.
