But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you as firstfruits unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.\par
But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.\par
