TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:9 None of the spiritual gifts gives us full understanding; unlike love, they are all limited in their benefits.

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Loving Others

Jesus spoke of loving one’s neighbor as the second most important of the Old Testament commandments (Mark 12:31). In fact, love summarizes the entire Old Testament law (22:40; cp. Matt 7:12; 9:9-13; 12:1-13; see Rom 13:8-10). Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their failure to show love (Matt 9:13; 12:7; 23:4, 13-14, 23). Love is the mark of a true follower of Jesus (John 13:34-35) and of an authentic experience of God (1 Jn 2:9-11; 3:11-18; 4:7-21).

For Paul, love is more important than any of the spiritual gifts and the most important virtue. Love “binds us all together in perfect harmony” (Col 3:14). Without love, ministry has limited value (1 Cor 13:1-3). Paul summed up the whole of Christian ethics as “faith expressing itself in love” (Gal 5:6). Love is the natural outworking of Christian faith, the primary fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22), and the most important motivation for ministry. As believers grow in Christ, they will seek more and more to love others as he did.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Connecting Statement:

Here, For introduces Paul’s reason for saying that prophecies, tongues, and knowledge will pass away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express For with a comparable word that introduces a reason why someone has made a claim. Alternate translation: “In fact,” or “That is because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence -1) ἐκ μέρους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐκ μέρους γὰρ γινώσκομεν καὶ ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν)

Connecting Statement:

Here, in part refers to how something is only a part of a larger whole. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express in part with a comparable expression that indicates that something is only part of a larger whole. Alternate translation: “partially … partially” or “imperfectly … imperfectly”
