1 Corinthians 13:9 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 13.

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love 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.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.

11 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 set aside childish ways.

12 Now we see but a dim 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.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
