4 One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
zthat I may adwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to bgaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire1 in his temple.
8 “Blessed are the lpure in heart, for they shall see God.
12 For now we nsee in a mirror dimly, but then oface to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as pI have been fully known.
4 In their case the xgod of this world has yblinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the zimage of God. 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but aJesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your bservants1 for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, c“Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts dto give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
14 pStrive for peace with everyone, and for the qholiness without which no one will see the Lord.
2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that kwhen he appears1 we shall be llike him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4 They will ksee his face, and lhis name will be on their foreheads.
