Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
And though I have the gift of prophecy, 
and
understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge;
and though I have all
faith,
so that I could remove mountains,
and have not charity,
I am
nothing.
Vs.2
--Judas had, no doubt, faith in God’s miracles, but yet he was not saved. Selfishness was his ruling motive; he had no love to God or man.
--How
this clips the wings of those lofty ones who hover on high, 
boasting of
their knowledge and of their gifts!
--There are many who have few gifts
—obscure and unknown — who love God much, and these are the accepted
ones.
--Before God the balances of the sanctuary are rather turned by the
shekel of love, than by any weight of talent or position.
--Miraculous faith, the faith of miracles, or the
faith by which persons were enabled to work miracles:
Had I all faith
(the utmost degree of this kind of faith), that I could remove mountains
(or say to them, "Go hence into the midst of the sea," and have my
command obeyed, Mk. 11:23), and had no charity, I am nothing.
The most
wonder-working faith, to which nothing is in a manner impossible, is itself
nothing without charity.
It is not great knowledge that God sets a value upon, but true and hearty devotion and love.
