behold

= "be" [thoroughly] + "hold"

SEE HIM, for you become like whom you BEHOLD.

Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into this likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

[2 Corinthians 3:16-18]
