18 And Moses said, O Lord, let me see your glory.
But it is not possible for you to see my face, for no man may see me and still go on living.
Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.
There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.
No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.
Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
