2 Corinthians 3:7-14

7(But if the ministryG1248 of deathG2288, in lettersG1121, graven in stonesG3037, began with gloryG1391, so that the children of IsraelG2474 could not fix their eyes on the faceG4383 of MosesG3475, on accountG1223 of the gloryG1391 of his faceG4383, [a gloryG1391] which is annulled;

8howG4459 shall not ratherG3123 the ministryG1248 of the SpiritG4151 subsist in gloryG1391?

9For if the ministryG1248 of condemnationG2633 [be] gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 the ministryG1248 of righteousnessG1343 abounds in gloryG1391.

10For alsoG2532 that [which was] glorifiedG1392 is not glorifiedG1392 in this respect, on account of the surpassing gloryG1391.

11For if that annulled [was introduced] with gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 that which abidesG3306 [subsists] in gloryG1391.

12Having thereforeG3767 suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530 muchG4183 boldnessG3954:

13and not according as MosesG3475 putG5087 a veilG2571 on his ownG1438 faceG4383, so that the children of IsraelG2474 should not fix their eyes on the endG5056 of that annulled.

14But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this dayG2250 the sameG846 veilG2571 remainsG3306 in readingG320 the oldG3820 covenantG1242, unremoved, which in ChristG5547 is annulled.
