Isaiah’s Vision of the Lord
1 In the year that sKing Uzziah died I tsaw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train1 of his robe filled the temple.
5 And I said: “Woe is me! yFor I am lost; zfor I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the aKing, the Lord of hosts!”
20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for sman shall not see me and live.”
23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall vnot be seen.”
18 lNo one has ever seen God; mthe only God,1 who is at the Father’s side,2 nhe has made him known.
16 wwho alone has immortality, xwho dwells in yunapproachable light, zwhom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
12 qNo one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and rhis love is perfected in us.
20 fIf anyone says, “I love God,” and ghates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot1 love God hwhom he has not seen.
