1 Corinthians 13:8-13

New International Version

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,^(A) they will cease; where there are tongues,^(B) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part^(C) and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes,^(D) 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^(E) behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;^(F) then we shall see face to face.^(G) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.^(H)

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