Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal conjunction hotan {ὅταν | hótan} 'whenever/when', which, together with the aorist subjunctive elthe {ἔλθῃ | élthē} 'comes', forms a temporal protasis that looks to a future but indefinite event.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:10
But when the perfect comes, the partial will be abolished.
