Flesh and blood cannot see it. Even when Moses was in the Mount, he was aware that the very fulness of God's glory then revealed to him, was after all but the surface of His infinitude. The more he saw, the deeper and wider did he know that to be which he saw not.
'Perfect, the Apostle here uses in opposition to the immediately following expression in the next verse, of 'children. It therefore means not so much moral perfection as maturity or fulness of growth. So long as we fall short of the state of unity we are in the stage of immaturity.

"Hear, O Israel!" cried Moses, "The Lord our God is one Lord." "To us there is but one God," declares S. Paul. "There is no God but God," affirms the founder of Islâm, and makes the phrase the symbol of his faith.

The spectators saw, however, that the dimensions of Lamh Laudher gained considerably by his approximation to the black. The dusky color of the Boxer added apparently to his size, whilst the healthful light which lay upon the figure of his opponent took away, as did his elegance, grace, and symmetry, from the uncommon breadth and fulness of his bust.

"Oh! sir, how true is the Scripture, 'Out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh. Out of my heart's fulness have I spoken, and, I fear you will think, out of my heart's folly, too; and in my heart's sincerity I tell you I do not know why I have done so to you for I have never said anything of these things to any one but cousin Ann, before.
I only have to say on the relative claims of science and literature what Dr Arnold said: "If one might wish for impossibilities, I might then wish that my children might be well versed in physical science, but in due subordination to the fulness and freshness of their knowledge on moral subjects.
I was so much affected by the appearance of such extreme anguish, that I could remain no longer in the room: I therefore glided by him and went up stairs; but, ere I had gone five steps, he precipitately followed me, and, in a broken voice, called out "Madam!-for Heaven's sake-" He stopped; but I instantly descended, restraining, as well as I was able, the fulness of my own concern.
