On the podcast, we had trouble remembering the reference for 1 Corinthians 13:9-10 “For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.” (NIV)

Other translations use the word “perfection” instead of “completeness.” 

What Paul meant when he referred to the coming of perfection is the subject of considerable debate. One suggestion is that perfection described the completion of the New Testament. But verse 12 makes that interpretation unlikely. A few have suggested that this state of perfection will not be reached until the new heavens and new earth are established. Another point of view understands perfection to describe the state of the church when God’s program for it is consummated at the coming of Christ. There is much to commend this view, including the natural accord it enjoys with the illustration of growth and maturity which Paul used in the following verses.
