²³ And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

²⁰ And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

¹⁶ Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

⁷ Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

¹⁴ Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

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.
