“The glory that you have given me I have given to them.”

I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim…. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”—Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.—Seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance…. Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

“Please show me your glory.”… “But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”—No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.—God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

She took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.—“Did not Achan the son of Zerah break faith in the matter of the devoted things, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.”

Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
