by Bible or other Sacred Texts

But where there are prophecies, they...
Language: English 
But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues,
they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes,
what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a
child.
When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
