1 Corinthians 13:8-12

8Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!

9Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!

10But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.

11When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.

12Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
