7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
