2 Corinthians 3:13-18

13and we are not like Moses, 1who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away.

14But their minds were 2hardened; for until this very day at the 3reading of 4the old covenant the same veil 5remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

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

16 6but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where 7the Spirit of the Lord is, 8there is freedom.

18But we all, with unveiled faces, 9looking as in a mirror at the 10glory of the Lord, are being 11transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from 12the Lord, the Spirit.
