Dear You-More-Scholarly-Than-I Friends,
A friend and I were recently discussing whether or not there is a difference between 'love never fails' (NWT, NASB, KJV, others?) and 'love never ends' (NJB, RSV, others?).
Love's never failing would seem to indicate that it never deceives, falls short, disappoints, etc., whereas its never ending seems to mean simply that it is enduring, everlasting ...
Some enlightenment, if it would please you.
Thanks!

Wow! Good question CoCo. You come up with some doozies.
Have to think about it later though...I'm at work.
Thanks, Dagney!

To know the meaning of; love never fails..love never ends" you have to know that you are the loved one of others and you have to learn to make other know you love them...
To be able to prove that; "love never fails..love never ends".you have to have the powers and abilities of love itself; i.e. joys and happiness of the healthy-ness, wealth-ness, and the wisdom of the health, wealth, and intelligence of your loved ones to guide and drive you and to help you to know and learn that; love not only never fails..never ends.but is the true cause of joys and happiness of the healthy-ness, wealth-ness, and the wisdom of the health, wealth, and intelligence of self.
those who truly loves you; so much that he is willing to let you know that love never fails..love never ends;
who has the healthy-ness, wealthy-ness, and the wisdom of the body, mind, and intelligence of his self to help you guide and drive you with the healthy-ness, wealthy-ness, and wisdom of the body, mind, and intelligence of his own self for letting you know and learn that love never fails..love never ends;
You; for sure are instead; poor, poverty stricken, and driven with the evils of birth, death, old, age, and sicknesses of various kinds of illnesses of the passions, emotions, sentiments , and energies of lust, greed, anger, and needs and requirements of self for them only
Material goods, time, money, people, places, and things fail us when we need and require their love for us; but our love for them never fails andnever ends. It only; keeps us going after them and for them.
Lack of true love in people around us; whom we trust and believe in; and their inability; to deliver to us; not only the knowledge and meaning of love for helping us know the meaning of the fact that love never fails..love never ends" but also for delivering the powers and abilities of it only to us; drives us to seek the love of Material goods, time, money, people, places, and things only for our selves and not their joys, love, happiness, satisfaction, and pleasantness as well. ( from a commentary )
BEDFORD – A cooperative effort between the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire and the State Prison for Women in Goffstown is making hundreds of cats and kittens ready for adoption.
"These semi-feral kittens, essentially wild, come to us through all different routes and always require more time than tame kittens," said David Betournay, director of animal care for the league. "They come back from the prison far more socialized and ready for adoption."
The program was developed in response to an over-population problem with cats in the state, Betournay said.
Through the program, cats are brought to the prison where they spend time with inmates, getting used to human contact or being socialized.
Beth Sprague, an inmate at the NH State Prison for Women, holds three semi-feral kittens as part of the Feral Feline Prison Foster Program in coordination with the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire in Bedford. (AP)
Carol Whitcher, education coordinator at the prison, recognized the program as an educational opportunity for the women.
She said the corrections commissioner's office was very supportive of the program, and staff and volunteers soon jumped on board.
It was an opportunity for women at the prison to gain skills, use team work and problem-solving. "It's a win-win," said Whitcher.
A friend of hers, Jane Sherwin, a nurse at Elliot Hospital in Manchester and instructor at the University of New Hampshire, started teaching veterinary science to inmates.
Whitcher also explained the positive benefits for inmates.
"It gives the women something to discuss with their children when they visit, something positive to talk about," she said. "The whole program has added a calming effect to the whole tier."
Beth Sprague is an inmate fostering three kittens from the same litter €" Tabby, Bailey and Machatia.
The test is when the kittens can be held upside down for a short period of time without getting aggressive, they're ready. Hers are not.
"When they're active at 2 a.m. it's a bit much," she said.
Inmates thus far have socialized 145 semi-feral kittens.
I just seem a program on TV about max security prison for men.. stray cats began to wander in the yard , these hardened men
become so attached that they spent all their allowance on cat food ,vets etc... they even avoid going to isolation
because they worry about their cat...". don't ever hurt their cat I'm telling you said one guard.. it's great for all
concerned." Need I say more ? indeed LOVE NEVER FAILS !!!!!!! LOVE NEVER ENDS !!!!

Dear Caliber,
The content of your posts is very touching, as well as relevant. I will read them again to plumb the depths of all you've so beautifully expressed.
Very gratefully yours,
CoCo
bttt
The two thoughts you express are joined together really , for when love fails love ends, amd visa versa.
If you love someone and it ends, love has failed, for whatever reason.
While love is unfailing it never ends .
Hope this makes sense
Regards Advid
I also see those two statements as similar.
If love never fails, it will never end.
And if love never ends, it will never fail.
In my mind, it is so clear and simple that it becomes difficult to explain...comme une vérité de la Pallice (s'il n'était pas mort, il serait encore en vie:-)
Je te remercie de ta reponse, *ete*. Qu'est que c'est "la Pallice"?
