1 Corinthians 13:10

but when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part, shalbe done away. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. But when perfection comes, the things that are not perfect will end. But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away. But what is perfect will someday appear, and what isn't perfect will then disappear. but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass. but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away. But when perfection comes, the things that are not complete will end. But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is in part, shalbe abolished. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is imperfect shall be done away. but when what is perfect comes, then what is partial will disappear. but whenever the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. but when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease. but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary. but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. But when what is completeperfect">[fn] comes, then what is incomplete will be done away with. but when the perfection shall have come, then shall be abolished that which is little. But when completeness shall come, then that which is partial will vanish away. But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is vnperfect shalbe done away. but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. And when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall vanish away. but when the perfect state of things is come, all that is imperfect will be brought to an end. but whanne that schal come that is parfit, that thing that is of parti schal be auoidid. but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. When everything is perfect, then we will not need these gifts that are not perfect. but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away. But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. But when yt which is parfect is come then yt which is vnparfet shall be done awaye. and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless. and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part will become useless. But wha that which is perfecte, commeth, then shal the vnparfecte be done awaye. but when that which is perfect is come, then that which is defective shall be laid aside. but when we are made perfect, these other things won't be needed.

Contextual Overview

8Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. 8 Charitie neuer faileth: but whether there be prophesies, they shall faile; whether there bee tongues, they shall cease; whether there bee knowledge, it shall vanish away. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 8 Love never ends. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will be ended. There are gifts of speaking in different languages, but those gifts will stop. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will come to an end. 8Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 8Love never fails, but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But when that which is perfect is come,.... When perfect knowledge of God, of Christ, and of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven shall take place; which will not in this life, but in that which is to come. So the Jews say r that at the resurrection, upon the reunion of the soul and body,

"the children of men shall attain to דעה שלימה, "perfect knowledge";''

which is what the apostle refers to here:

and then that which is in part, shall be done away: the imperfection of knowledge shall be removed; the imperfect manner of communicating knowledge, and of receiving and acquiring it, will cease: thus the apostle explains what he means by the cessation and failing of knowledge, and prophecy; not that knowledge itself will be no more, and a state of ignorance and darkness succeed; but imperfect knowledge will vanish away, or rather will be perfected, or be swallowed up in perfect knowledge; the imperfection of it will disappear; and it will be no more taught and received in part; the whole of truth will be clearly known.

r Midrash Haneelam in Zohar in Gen. fol. 69. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But when that which is perfect is come - Does come; or shall come. This proposition is couched in a general form. It means that when anything which is perfect is seen or enjoyed, then that which is imperfect is forgotten, laid aside, or vanishes. Thus, in the full and perfect light of day, the imperfect and feeble light of the stars vanishes. The sense here is, that “in heaven” - a state of absolute perfection - that which is “in part,” or which is imperfect, shall be lost in superior brightness. All imperfection will vanish. And all that we here possess that is obscure shall be lost in the superior and perfect glory of that eternal world. All our present unsatisfactory modes of obtaining knowledge shall be unknown. All shall be clear, bright, and eternal.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Corinthians 13:10. But when that which is perfect — The state of eternal blessedness; then that which is in part-that which is imperfect, shall be done away; the imperfect as well as the probationary state shall cease for ever.
