Exegesis
The contrasting clause tote de prosopon pros prosopon {τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον | tóte de prósōpon pros prósōpon} “then but face to face” uses repetition of prosopon to stress direct, unmediated encounter, functioning almost as a rhythmic counterpoint to the earlier mediated vision.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a mirror in a riddle , but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know fully, just as I have also been fully known.
