I get the logic but I think the conclusion is wrong because the presupposition is wrong.
"8
Love never ends. But if there are prophecies,
they will be set aside; if there are tongues,
they will cease; if there is knowledge,
it will be set aside. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, 10 but when
what is perfect comes, the
partial will be set aside. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 10:8-13)
Verse 8 sets the tone for the following verses, which says 'love never ends' and then verse 13 wraps up Paul's argument, which says love is the greatest.
Love is greater than prophecy, tongues, or knowledge. This is Paul's argument. The purpose of the gifts is to make the body 'complete' - which, in John's language is 'perfect love'. Once it has achieved that purpose, there's no further need for them, and that's Paul's point - and one day they will achieve that purpose. There's no mystical reference to a future closing of the Canon or a reference to John's vision of the Revelation of our Lord. It's a simple argument to the Corinthians to pursue love above all the gifts because that's the point of the gifts anyway.
The same point is made in Ephesians 4 where Paul says the gifts are given to:
"12 equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God—
a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature. 14 So we are no longer to be children, tossed back and forth by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching by the trickery of people who craftily carry out their deceitful schemes. 15 But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head. 16 From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love."
The point in Ephesians 4 is the gifts are given to grow the body into
maturity. The same point is being made, more poetically, in 1 Corinthians 13.
Further evidence is clear:
A. Paul alludes to the
body in Ephesians 4, just as he does in 1 Corinthians 12, just before 1 Corinthians 13.
B. Paul alludes to being
a child in Ephesians 4, just as he does in 1 Corinthians 13, in the text we're referring to.
C. Paul alludes to love, knowledge and faith in Ephesians 4 - but notes that faith and knowledge ought to bring maturity.
D. Paul notes that the end goal is love in Ephesians 4:16.
E. Paul alludes to
maturity in verse 13 - indicating that's the purpose of the gifts. The choice of word here is τέλειον in Greek. Hey, presto, the choice of word used in 1 Corinthians 13:10 for "perfect" is... τέλειον
.
This means that "perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13:10 does not mean a closed Canon but mature believers.
As far as I'm concerned, it is far, far more reasonable to assume that Paul is not referring to some eschatological or semi-eschatological event in 1 Corinthians 13, but is referring simply to how great love is and how the purpose of the gifts is towards love, not towards self-aggrandizement or self-importance.
Why did I say your presupposition is wrong? Because I think you are presupposing that the purpose of the gifts was to write scripture. But unfortunately scripture does not describe (once, ever) that the purpose of the gifts was to provide revelation for a future Canon. While
@swordsman1 above provides a pretty good and well-thought out and stated post showing that the NT church may very possibly have expected a closed Canon, I fail to see the relevance of that in this discussion because the "faith delivered once for all to the saints" would include a faith that includes the use of the gifts. One either has to believe the gifts were given for the specific purpose of formulating the Canon (there is no evidence to suggest that) or the gifts were given to the church to continue building it in love (as the Bible states). The presupposition will form the conclusion. Just because there are allusions to a closed canon in the Bible it does not mean the gifts were to cease, unless one believes that the gifts were made for forming the canon, of which there is no evidence to suggest so.
