¹² For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

² Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

¹⁸ But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

²³ For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

¹² Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

¹⁰ But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

⁷ (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

⁸ With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

³ But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

¹⁵ As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

¹⁰ Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

¹¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
