And all of us, with faces from which the veil is lifted, seeing, as if reflected in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness, from glory to glory, as it is given by the Lord, the Spirit.

For I can testify that to the utmost of their power, and even beyond their power, they have of their own free will given help.
