Robertson's Word Pictures
Quote
Shall I know
American Rev., rightly, “I shall fully know.” See on knowledge, Rom_3:20. The A.V. has brought this out in 2Co_6:9, well known.
I am known
The tense is the aorist, “was known,” in my imperfect condition. Paul places himself at the future stand-point, when the perfect has come. The compound verb is the same as the preceding. Hence American Rev., “I was fully known.

It's a part of the comparison.


God bless,
