But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 13:10 Go To 1 Corinthians 13
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What is implied from this is not that our knowledge will disappear altogether, but that its imperfections will be seen as very limited. We shall know everything we know now imperfectly, but so much more as well. For example, we know now that God is everywhere, but we do not know how this is possible. We know that he made the creation out of nothing, but we have no idea how. We know that Christ was born of a virgin, but we do not know how. And so on.
