2 Corinthians 3:12-16

12 1Therefore having such a hope, 2we use great boldness in our speech,

13and are not like Moses, 3who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.

14But their minds were 4hardened; for until this very day at the 5reading of 6the old covenant the same veil 7remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

15But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;

16 8but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
