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. 13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the [c]greatest of these is (E)love.

For we know in part(A) and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes,(B) what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood(C) behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;(D) then we shall see face to face.(E) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.(F)

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.(G) But the greatest of these is love.(H)

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake 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 now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
