7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.
But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, That shines more and more until the perfect day.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yahweh your 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 tents; and they shall not appear before Yahweh empty:
Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.
I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
