1 Corinthians 13:2
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
13:2. Even the gift of prophecy (cf. 12:10) which Paul championed as a great gift for the Corinthian church (14:1) or the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, and faith (cf. 12:8-9) were nothing compared with love. Paul was not depreciating those gifts but was appreciating love by showing it to be incomparable.
