And [God] said, You shall not be able to see My face; for no man shall see My face and live.

Many say, Who will show us good things? The light of Your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.

No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, He who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared [Him].

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or is able to see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

The city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
