Exegesis
The postpositive conjunction de {δὲ | dè} after the first eite contrasts the enduring nature of love with the temporary operation of these gifts. The translation replicates this correlative and contrasting structure to emphasize both the inevitable cessation of gifts and the permanence of love.
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.
