    (Part 2) From v. .10 that passage says, “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. — 11 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. — 12 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.” — It is obvious that we do not now “know as we are known”.

    This is a wonderful article. I realize that when I had children, and they looked to me for how a christian should behave, I really poured into my bible.

I know we did. There is comfort in that.
