Now, at this time, I want to focus our attention on 1st Corinthians 13, verses 9 and 10 for a few minutes; then after that on verses 11-13. Verse 9 says – "For we know in part and we prophesy in part." (10) "But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away." What is usually thought of, by many continuationists and others, in terms of the wording of verse 9, is that during this whole church age we will only know in part and we will prophesy in part. But when the "perfect" comes, that is the time of Christ's return and the introduction of the eternal state, the revelatory gifts will cease. But when we realize the strength of the argument, that in this passage, that which is to fail, cease, and vanish away is being contrasted with what is to never fail or to be done away with all during this Church age until Christ returns, it truly does appear that "the perfect" of verse 10 is referring, most certainly in the primary sense, to the Scriptures.
