2 Corinthians 3:7-14

7Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end,

8will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory?

9For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.

10Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it.

11For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

12Since we have such a hope, we are very bold,

13not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end.

14But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.
