Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; {in the truth: or, with the truth}

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether {there be} prophecies, they shall fail; whether {there be} tongues, they shall cease; whether {there be} knowledge, it shall vanish away. {fail: Gr. vanish away}

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
