Exegesis
The temporal adverb arti {ἄρτι | árti} “now” frames the present situation, later balanced by tote {τότε | tó-te} “then,” creating a clear temporal contrast.
The second half of the verse shifts from “we” to the first person singular with arti ginosko ek merous {ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους | árti ginṓskō ek mérous} “now I know from part,” where ek {ἐκ | ek} with the genitive merous {μέρους | mérous} expresses partialness or incompleteness of knowledge.
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.
