so that usage is not decisive—Chrysostom appears to combine both interpretations (Denney). But the ancient VSS support behold rather than ‘reflect’, and ‘the translation “we reflect” … removes the contrast of the Christians with the Jews, who because of their veil cannot see’ (Kümmel; similarly Windisch; cf. Wilckens, Weisheit, p. 74). To behold the glory of God, and to receive knowledge of him (cf. 4:6), is to be transformed. For the relation of this proposition with gnosis, see the note on 4:6.
