Exegesis
A correlative series introduced by the repeated conjunction eite {εἴτε | eíte} ‘whether’ presents three spiritual gifts—propheteiai {προφητεῖαι | prophēteîai} ‘prophecies’, glossai {γλῶσσαι | glôssai} ‘tongues’, and gnosis {γνῶσις | gnôsis} ‘knowledge’—each paired with a future verb: the passive katargethesontai {καταργηθήσονται | katargēthḗsontai} ‘will be rendered inactive’, the middle pausontai {παύσονται | paúsontai} ‘will come to an end’, and the passive katargethesetai {καταργηθήσεται | katargēthḗsetai} ‘will be taken out of operation’.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails; prophecies will be set aside, tongues will fall silent, and knowledge will be brought to an end.
