Quote by Bible

For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. I Corinthians

For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face

Summary

This quote comes from the Bible, specifically from Paul's letter to the Corinthians in the New Testament. It suggests that our understanding of the world, ourselves, and others is currently limited and unclear ('through a glass darkly'). However, it also holds the belief that one day this limited perception will be replaced by a direct and complete comprehension ('face to face'). It implies that the current partial knowledge and understanding will evolve into a fuller understanding, likened to how we are known by others. Ultimately, the quote speaks to the idea of greater clarity and knowledge to come in the future.
