Exegesis
The comparative kathos kai epegnosthen {καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην | kathṓs kaí epegnṓsthēn} “just as also I was fully known” introduces a standard of comparison: the future fullness of the speaker’s knowledge is patterned after an already accomplished, complete knowing of the speaker by another (implicitly God), expressed by the aorist passive. In translation, the parallel arti/tote and the repeated contrast between partial and complete knowledge are preserved through consistent temporal adverbs and matching clauses, maintaining the eschatological movement from obscurity to clarity and from fragmentary understanding to fullness.
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.
