QUESTION: Why weren’t all of the gifts mentioned in I Corinthians 13:8?
ANSWER: In I Corinthians 13:8-12, the thrust was not to show that only specific
gifts were to cease, but rather to show that that which was in part (the miraculous
and the miraculous age, necessary for confirmation and edification) was to
terminate when that which was “perfect/complete” came, as previously
discussed. The point would have been made no stronger by citing all of the nine
gifts, since the purpose of all was the same. Therefore, it is clear and understood
by biblical scholars at all levels that the three mentioned are simply
representative of the total. The principle is used throughout the scriptures, e.g.,
Acts 20:7: “breaking of bread” is a part of the worship that stands for the whole;
that is, “breaking of bread” in this context, means “to worship.” .
