There we will not have necessity of PROFHTEIAI nor GNWSIS because He, the
lord, will be all. But, the GLWSSAI is one thing that we will have, see
Luke 16:24. The prophecy and the knowledge will be destroyed, but our
tongue will be preserved. >>
I don't this is the point. PAUSONTAI means "they will cease." Neither
PROFHTEIAI, nor GNWSIS, nor GLWSSAI will exist when TO TELEION comes. Each
noun refers to the spiritual gifts discussed in 1 Cor 12-14, so GLWSSAI does
not refer simply to the human tongue.
