“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face
to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know
fully, even as I have been fully known.”
(1 Corinthians 13:12, ESV)
“Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like
Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the
Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being
brought to an end. But their minds were hardened. For to
this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil
remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken
away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies
over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil
is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled
face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed
into the same image from one degree of glory to another.
For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
(2 Corinthians 3:12–18, ESV)
“For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a
doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his
natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself
and goes away and at once forgets what he was
like.”
(James 1:23–24, ESV)
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me
together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden
from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately
woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my
unformed substance; in your book were written, every
one of them, the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.”
(Psalm 139:13–16, ESV)
“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set
the believers an example in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith, in purity.”
(1 Timothy 4:12, ESV)
“They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of
sap and green,”
(Psalm 92:14, ESV)
“So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not
forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another
generation, your power to all those to come.”
(Psalm 71:18, ESV)
“ ‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams;”
(Acts 2:17, ESV)
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a
good work in you will bring it to completion at
the day of Jesus Christ.”
(Philippians 1:6, ESV)
