Exegesis
The nominative neuter singular phrase to teleion {τὸ τέλειον | tò téleion} 'the perfect/complete' functions as the subject of the main clause and is substantival, referring not merely to a quality but to a state or reality of completeness.
The following phrase to ek merous {τὸ ἐκ μέρους | tò ek mérous} literally 'the {thing} from part' is also substantival, with the article to {τὸ | tò} + preposition ek {ἐκ | ek} + genitive merous {μέρους | mérous} forming a fixed idiom meaning 'that which is partial'. This serves as a second nominative subject or, more precisely, the element that will undergo the verbal action.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:10
But when the perfect comes, the partial will be abolished.
