I'm etching a mirror for my sister who recently was baptized. I'd like to put a quote on it that has to do with God and reflection or looking at oneself.
can you help inspire me?

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, as I am fully known. Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:12-13
We all, with unveiled faces, are reflecting the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18

That sounds like a beautiful and special gift!
A beautiful Bible verse that talks about how we'll know God fully when we get to Heaven is:
"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." (1 Corinthians 13:12)
Or you could go with a verse that would remind your sister of her beauty in God's eyes whenever she looks into the mirror:
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Psalm 139:14)

Proverbs 27:19 "As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man"
Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see
God"
Gen 9:6 "In the image of God, has God made man"
that's all i've got

I like the original ten commandments in the Gospel of the Nazirenes. (The original New Testament) #2 Ye shall not take away the life of any creature, nor yet torment it. and #4 ye shall not eat the flesh nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, no yet anything which brings disorder to our health or senses."
You may say how does this apply to our reflection. If we do such thins how can we look at our selves.
For info google gospelofthenazirenes.com For sincere seekers of Truth and Jesuses original teachings before king Constantine changed so many things in the Bible.

Here are some to do with baptism that you might like.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
