OET (OET-LV) By for part we_are_knowing, and by part we_are_prophesying,

OET (OET-RV) because we only have partial knowledge and partial understanding of prophecy.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–13 Love endures forever

In this section Paul talked about the importance of love. He described how a person who loves will behave toward others. He concluded that love is more important than any of the spiritual gifts. One day all the spiritual gifts will cease, but love will never cease.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Love

Paul urged believers to act in love

The way of love

13:9

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For introduces more information about how the spiritual gifts of knowledge and prophecy will come to an end.

we know in part and we prophesy in part: Paul wrote about spiritual gifts that God gives to people in this age. By these gifts he lets us know some truths about him. No Christian knows everything or prophecies all the truth about God and his ways.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

God lets us(incl) know things, but we don’t know everything; God lets us prophesy but he doesn’t let us prophesy all things

we(incl) only know part of the truth about God, and we can only prophesy part of the truth about God

we know…we prophesy…: The Greek words that the BSB translates as know and prophesy are verbs. In 12:8 through 13:8 these spiritual gifts have been referred to with nouns. The Greek says “knowledge” in 12:8 and 13:8. The Greek says “prophecy” (12:10, 13:2, 13:8) and “prophets” (12:28–29). In some languages you may be able to follow the Greek usage, but in some languages it may be necessary to use verbs throughout this passage.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐκ μέρους γάρ γινώσκομεν καί ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν)

Here, For introduces Paul’s reason for saying that prophecies, tongues, and knowledge will pass away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express For with a comparable word that introduces a reason why someone has made a claim. Alternate translation: [In fact,] or [That is because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence -1) ἐκ μέρους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐκ μέρους γάρ γινώσκομεν καί ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν)

Here, in part refers to how something is only a part of a larger whole. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express in part with a comparable expression that indicates that something is only part of a larger whole. Alternate translation: [partially … partially] or [imperfectly … imperfectly]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

13:9 None of the spiritual gifts gives us full understanding; unlike love, they are all limited in their benefits.

OET (OET-LV) By for part we_are_knowing, and by part we_are_prophesying,

OET (OET-RV) because we only have partial knowledge and partial understanding of prophecy.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
