1 Corinthians 13:2

Farther, Suppose. had the spirit of prophecy, and could speak by inspiration of things present, and things to come, and could understand deep and difficult points in God's word and works, what is this more than Balaam had?

And suppose. have all faith, that is, the highest degree of miraculous faith, so that. could remove mountains; yet this, severed from charity, or the predominant love of God and our neighbour, is all nothing. And I am nothing, that is, nothing worth in the sight of God.

Observe here, That miraculous faith may be severed from charity, but justifying faith cannot, which always worketh by love; and wherever that grace is found, it gives value and acceptance to all other graces.

Faith without charity is but. dead assent; hope without charity is but like. tympany, the bigger it grows, the more dangerous it proves; and the most diffusive alms-giving, without love, is but. sacrifice to vanity.
