It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails. Where there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. When the perfect comes, the partial (imperfect) (incomplete) will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, and reason like a child.
