7 They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.
But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.
But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.
But be increased in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May he have glory now and for ever. So be it.
