Cessationist Interpretation 2 (Masters Seminary): prophecy and knowledge = inscripturated revelation; massive time gap between vv. 11 and 12; "the perfect" = the church brought to maturity by the Bible.

Key concept 1: Prophecy and knowledge in 1 Cor 13 are not gifts for one-time ministry but are specifically inscripturated revelation—i.e., the same content later written in Luke, Acts, Romans, Revelation, etc. Key concept 2: There is a massive chronological gap (1,000+ years) inserted between verses 11 and 12—gifts ceased when Scripture was complete, but seeing face-to-face is still future. Key concept 3: "The perfect" is not the Bible itself but the church brought to maturity; however, the author measures maturity by having the completed Bible (citing 2 Tim 3 equipping language), making it functionally equivalent to Interpretation 1.
