face to face
It's either "vis a vis (vis-a-vis)" or "viz a viz (viz-a-viz)."
Take a look of Corinthian I, Ch. 13, around the end of that chapter.
Paul explained what would happen when we come in front of the Truth.
The English translation uses "vis a vis" and that means "face to face with" or "in fron of" the Truth.
