For now we see only a 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 — the esoptron (mirror) of 1 Corinthians 13:12 reflects dimly (ainigmatōs, in riddle-form) but will give way to prosōpon pros prosōpon (face to face) vision; the knowledge of God will be complete (epignōsis) as God's knowledge of us is now complete, a mutuality of knowing.
