Verse-by-verse: v. 11 — the child/adult analogy illustrates that the gifts are a temporary measure, but the maturity in view is eschatological glorification (1 Cor 15), not canonical completion.

Does This Verse Teach Cessationism? And a Bit On Bethel. 1 Cor 13_10-12 00:25:10 – 00:27:13

Winger grants that v. 11 sounds like it could support the church-maturity cessationist view, but locates its referent in resurrection/glorification.

The child-to-adult analogy supports the idea that gifts are temporary scaffolding. The second cessationist view agrees with this. But the problem is that it equates the maturity endpoint with completion of Scripture rather than with what 1 Cor 15 describes: the resurrection/glorification — when this mortal puts on immortality. That is the true point of "full maturity."
