1 Corinthians 13:9-11
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.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, 10 but when what is perfect[a] comes, the partial will be set aside. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult,[b] I set aside childish ways.
