The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and study Paul's writings to apply the 'TO!"

- Thanks Be To God -
for "That Which Is Perfect"

I Corinthians 13:8-13: Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 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. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

This is either the King James Bible - 1611 or it is Jesus Christ himself.

If it is Jesus Christ himself, then all in verse 8 is still all in gear - but in part, with no 'single' Bible.

Take your pick and believe what you want - follow your heart, your feelings, your preacher, your teacher, your channel, your book and favorite author, etc.
Pray for power in your prayer, confess a few sins, pray for healing, pray for wisdom from above, pray for understanding all based on the previous list...

If it is the King James Bible, then learn about rightly dividing.

That Bible is perfect - complete!

It has no errors, no contradictions, no false teachings - but be prepared for what it will show you.

And if it is the King James Bible, then all in verse 8 has been done away with today!

It is that simple!
(no long study needed - just believe, read, watch and hang on!)

I believe without a shadow of doubt that it is referring to the King James Bible.

I have heard other answers, and they are worthless or make no sense - nice tries!
That bible will help you put away childish things and quit speaking as a child; you will no longer understand as a child; and you no longer think like a child!

A child is one who is "tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" Ephesians 4:14
The King James Bible speaks the truth in love; it enables us to grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Ephesians 4:15

Then - they saw what God showed to them - in part - 'darkly'...

but then - today - we will see him face to face.

Note: ALL examples of meeting God face to face was all done through words!

but then - today - Paul now knows -

and we can know Paul - it is ALL written down!

Then - it was charity being the rule - but today, it is the King James Bible rightly divided!

II Timothy 2:15,16 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

"If you were to take Jesus Christ and turn him into words,
you'd get the King James Bible;
if you were to take the KJB and turn it into flesh,
you'd get Jesus Christ,"

It is the sharper than any two-edged sword of the Spirit

Ephesians 6:17
Hebrews 4:12,13

It is the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe - I Thessalonians 2:12
It is Romans 9:17 - For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh...
It is Galatians 3:8 - And the Scripture, FORESEEING..., preached before the Gospel unto Abraham...
It is Psalms 138:2 - ...for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

My thanks that when I seek these things, I can find them in and through my King James Bible.

Exodus 15:2
Exodus 18:11
I Samuel 2:3
II Samuel 22:31
I Kings 8:60
Psalm 18:2
Psalm 18:30
Psalm 19:7
Psalm 28:7
Psalm 29:4
Psalm 92:15
Psalm 94:22
Psalm 95:3
Psalm 96:4
Psalm 111:4
Psalm 118:6
Psalm 118:14
Psalm 135:5
Psalm 145:18

Luke 2:47: And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Luke 24:45: Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

rightly dividing eliminates private interpretation and gives that understanding we are seeking

I Corinthians 1:19: For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Ephesians 1:18: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Colossians 1:9: For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
II Timothy 2:7: Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
II Thessalonians 3:3: But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

This last verse is applicable in the future, of course, because the Son of God will have come upon their flesh, etc. But it sure does support I Corinthians 13:10 in the same manner through that King James Bible!

I John 5:20: And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Final note of thanks:

My King James Bible needs no interpretation.

Rightly dividing clears the air for me. I know what is TO me and FOR me - it suddenly becomes very simple.

There is no need for any 'interpretation' today - it is clearly written down.
Mopdern interpretations have brought about 500 more Bible 'versions' into the market place!

Interpretation only becomes an issue during the Tribulation!

II Peter 1:20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Peter is not TO me today. It is TO them, tomorrow!
