Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} 'and' introduces a parallel clause, again with ek merous modifying the verb propheteuomen {προφητεύομεν | pro-phē-teú-o-men} 'we prophesy,' reinforcing the symmetry: both knowing and prophesying occur 'in part.' In English, placing 'in part' after each verb preserves the Greek parallelism and emphasizes the ongoing, incomplete nature of these activities.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:9
For our knowing is in part, and our prophesying is in part.
