1 Corinthians 13:12

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Now we see but a dim 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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} now{G737} we see{G991}{(G5719)} through{G1223} a glass{G2072}, darkly{G1722}{G135}; but{G1161} then{G5119} face{G4383} to{G4314} face{G4383}: now{G737} I know{G1097}{(G5719)} in{G1537} part{G3313}; but{G1161} then{G5119} shall I know{G1921}{(G5695)} even as{G2531} also{G2532} I am known{G1921}{(G5681)}.
Strong's King James
(12) For now, seeing through a mirror, in a riddle and then face to face! Now I know a part but at that time I will know fully just as I've been fully known.
The F.O.G*
[12] For now, we see spiritual reality like a dim reflection in an ancient metal mirror—puzzling and unclear. But then, we will see everything with perfect clarity, face to face with our Lord. Now I know only in part, like seeing the shadow of a truth. Then I will know fully and intimately, even as I am fully and intimately known by יהוה.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;
