1 Corinthians 13:12

---

← 1 Corinthians 13:11	1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 13:13 →
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.	For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.	And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

In composition it retains the same general importance.
