and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen.
Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
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?
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
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.
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 honor and power everlasting. Amen.
