1 Corinthians 13:9

Love, The More Excellent Way

⁸ Love never ends.
But as for prophecies,
they will come to an end;
as for languages, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will come to an end.
⁹ For we know in part,
and we prophesy in part.
¹⁰ But when the perfect comes,
the partial will come to an end.

if you know?
