ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 13 v2

THE LIMITS OF PROPHETIC POWERS. AMBROSIASTER: Balaam prophesied even though he was not a prophet, and Caiaphas also prophesied. So did Saul when, because of his disobedience, he was filled with an evil spirit. Judas accompanied the other disciples and understood all the mysteries and knowledge given to them, but as an enemy of love he betrayed the Savior.Both Tertullian and Novatian were men of no small learning, but because of their pride they lost the fellowship of love and falling into schism devised heresies, to their own damnation. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

MIRACLES OF WORD AND DEED. CHRYSOSTOM: By naming prophecy and faith, Paul included every spiritual gift, since miracles are either in word or in deed. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 32.7.

THE SPIRITUAL GIFT OF FAITH. GENNADIUS OF CONSTANTINOPLE: By faith, Paul does not mean the common and universal faith of believers but the spiritual gift of faith. The two things have the same name, because when the Holy Spirit comes upon us it is our human faith which expands to make room for the divine gift. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.
