1 Corinthians 13:2 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

All mysteries, and all knowledge— Any predictions relating to our Saviour or his doctrine, or the times of the Gospel contained in the Old Testament, in types, or figurative and obscure expressions, not understood before his coming, and being then revealed to the world, St. Paul calls mysteries, says Mr. Locke, as may be seen all through his writings; so that mystery and knowledge are terms here used to signify truths concerning Christ to come, contained in the Old Testament; and prophesy, the understanding of the types and prophesies containing those truths so as to be able to explain them to others. See on chap. 1 Corinthians 12:8. By faith to remove mountains, or to do that which is impossible, except by a miracle, must be meant the miraculous faith spoken of ch. 1 Corinthians 12:9 and as it is here supposed that this faith might in fact be separated from love, it cannotsignify the same as in the Epistle to the Romans, where it is "such an assent to a divine declaration, as produces a suitable temper and conduct."
