But destruction occurs by making the imperfect perfect, not by removing it altogether.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES</i></p><p><b>Augustine of Hippo</b>: But, as this faith, which works by love, begins to penetrate the soul, it tends, through the vital power of goodness, to change into sight, so that the holy and perfect in heart catch glimpses of that ineffable beauty whose full vision is our highest happiness.… We begin in faith, we are perfected in sight.<br/><i>— Enchiridion 1.5</i></p><p><b>Basil of Caesarea</b>: Even though more knowledge is always being acquired by everyone, it will ever fall short in all things of its rightful completeness until the time when that which is perfect being comes, that which is in part will be done away.<br/><i>— CONCERNING FAITH</i></p><p><b>Methodius of Olympus</b>: Whence we, having received Christ, saying, \"I am the truth,\" know that shadows and figures have ceased; and we hasten on to the truth, proclaiming its glorious images. For now we know \"in part,\" and as it were \"through a glass,\" since that which is perfect has not yet come to us; namely, the kingdom of heaven and the resurrection, when \"that which is in part shall be done away.\" For then will all our tabernacles be firmly set up, when again the body shall rise, with bones again joined and compacted with flesh.
