1 Corinthians 13:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For we know in part; it was truly said, as to things human, that the greatest part of those things that we know, is the least part of those things which we are ignorant of. A great measure of Divine things is also unknown to us, and the knowledge of them reserved for thr resurrection and day of judgment, 1 Thessalonians 14:20. And we prophesy in part; nor can the communication of our knowledge to that, be larger than what we by prophecy communicate; we having ourselves but a short and imperfect communication of Divine things, we can communicate but an imperfect degree of knowledge to others.

1 Corinthians 13:9

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