2 Corinthians 3:7-14

7The ministry that brought death was inscribed on stone. Yet, it came with such glory that the people of Israel couldn’t look at Moses’ face. His face was shining with glory, even though that glory was fading.

8Won’t the ministry that brings the Spirit have even more glory?

9If the ministry that brings punishment has glory, then the ministry that brings God’s approval has an overwhelming glory.

10In fact, the ministry that brings punishment lost its glory because of the superior glory of the other ministry.

11If that former ministry faded away despite its glory, how much more does that ministry which remains continue to be glorious?

12Since we have confidence ⌞in the new promise⌟, we speak very boldly.

13We are not like Moses. He kept covering his face with a veil. He didn’t want the people of Israel to see the glory fading away.

14However, their minds became closed. In fact, to this day the same veil is still there when they read the Old Testament. It isn’t removed, because only Christ can remove it.
