Now we see only a dim reflection of things, as if we were seeing them in a foggy mirror. But someday we will see clearly, face to face. Now I know in part; then I will know completely, just as God knows me completely.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I had the understanding of a child. But when I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
I haven’t yet received these things or reached my goal. But Christ Jesus took hold of me so that I could reach it, and so I keep pushing myself forward to take hold of it.
