and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back: 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 but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not 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 in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I have been known.
who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power eternal. Amen.
