parted curtain, you will be either

enjoying a personal welcome from

Either way, your future will be

irrevocably fixed and

eternally unchangeable.”

with garments of salvation and

a robe of righteousness,

head like a priest, and as

a bride adorns herself

with her jewels.”

we might become

the righteousness of God.”
