1Co 13:10 When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. Then the partial knowledge and prophecy will be done away. The imperfect will give way to the perfect; the perishable to the enduring. "The perfect" was expected at the coming of Christ. Some think that it came when the church was fully matured, since the special gifts then ceased. If there is a reference to this, the final and complete reference is to the glorified church.

13:10 But when that which is perfect is come - At death and in the last day. That which is in part shall vanish away - Both that poor, low, imperfect, glimmering light, which is all the knowledge we now can attain to; and these slow and unsatisfactory methods of attaining, as well as of imparting it to others.

I have never had piece when it comes to the teaching that proclaims that the \"perfect\" is the finalization of the canon of scripture. For one thing, it\'s a bit of a reach to state such a thing when there are virtually no other verses to support this notion. I believe the \"perfect\" being referenced in this verse is none other than the 2nd coming of our Lord. A verse which supports this is 1 Corinthians 1:7. I\'m surprised no one has ever tied this verse into the discussion as it clearly reveals how long the gifts are to be used to edify the body of Christ.
\"So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ\"

1 Corinthian 13 in its entirety is speaking about the attributes of love. 10 says, 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When real, perfect love, the love of the Father for us through Christ is shown in ours lives anything fake, unreal is done away with.
I know it is simplistic but...

What does the word perfect mean in scripture? But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.(James 1:25). Jesus answered, \"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.\" (Matthew 19:21) Does the perfect here means something different than the perfect used in 1st Corinthians 13:10? What is the perfect law of liberty? What was Jesus referencing when he told the rich young ruler if thou would be perfect go sell all that you have and come follow me. Could perfect mean complete? I\'m just saying! Sometimes we make things more difficult than they should be! My feeling or my opinion is fruitless when it comes to the word of God. Solomon said in Proverbs 16:25 \"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.\" In Matthew 7:24 Jesus said these words \"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.\" The Hebrew writer said in Hebrews 5:8-9 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
Hear (Mt 7:24), believe (Jn 8:24) repent (Lk 13:3,5) confess (Acts 8:37) and be baptized for the remission of your sins, (Acts 2:38, 8:12, acts 22:16)

According to 1Cornthians 13:10, Perfect means completely full of knowledge, completely full of everything, completely full of love. Nothing incomplete in it and only one thing is “fullness of knowledge”, everything is there. This word of God means Bible and MEANS NEW TESTMENT BECAUSE at that time the New Testament was being written and now perfect has come. The Bible is perfect because this is word of GOD.

There is absolutely nothing in the context of 1 Corinthians 13 that suggests \" that which is perfect\" is the completed New Testament. This is an arbitrary conclusion from man that continues to be believed by virtually everyone in the Church today; tradition over the Truth. The context does suggest that this will be when we are fully saved and have our glorified bodies. At this time we will be with Christ. We certainly will not need the gifts mentioned in the previous chapter at this time. While we will not need to practice these spiritual gifts, we will continue to carry love in our hearts, hence the emphasis on \" charity \" in this chapter. This is the only logical interpretation that will fit the context here.
