1 Corinthians 13:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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 put aside childish things.
12 For now we see indistinctly,[a] as in a mirror,[b]
but then face to face.(A)
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,(B)
as I am fully known.(C)
13 Now these three remain:
faith, hope,(D) and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

New International Version
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(A) behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;(B) then we shall see face to face.(C) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.(D)
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.(E) But the greatest of these is love.(F)
