2 Corinthians 3:718 But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on
with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of M
of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirieven more with glory? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, muc
the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. 10 For indeed what had glor
has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if that which fad
with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. 12 Therefore having
we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and are not like Moses, who use
over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end o
fading away. 14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at ththe old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in
to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; 16 but whe
person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.17
Now the Lord is the Spthe Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, b
a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image
glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
