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.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
