4  The Lord talked with you ^aface to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

  11  But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my ^cspiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him.

  18  For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

  11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

  15  And to bring about his eternal ^apurposes in the end of man, after he had created our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter.
