1 Corinthians 13:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 For we (A)know in part and prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [a]became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we (B)see in a mirror [b]dimly, but then (C)face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also (D)have been fully known.

1 Corinthians 13:9-12
New King James Version
9 (A)For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [a]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For (B)now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then (C)face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

1 Corinthians 13:9-12
New Living Translation
9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[a] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
