2 Corinthians 3:18 (NRSV) — 18 And all of us, with unveiled faces, 

seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror,

for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (The Message) — 18 All of us! 

Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. 

And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, 

our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful 

as God enters our lives and we become like him.

That 'beautiful purpose' is that 

we shall become more and more like Him daily!

Transformed from one degree of glory to another!

Face shining in the Brightness of His Face!

Becoming more beautiful

as God enters our lives and we become like Him!

Amazing Grace!

Hallelujah!
