1 Corinthians 13:9-12
Revised Standard Version
1 Corinthians 13:9-12
Revised Standard Version
9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; 10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.

1 Corinthians 13:9-12
New International Version
9 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)

1 Corinthians 13:9-12
King James Version
9 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.
