2 Corinthians 3:12-18

12 1ThereforeG3767, havingG2192 suchG5108 aG5108 hopeG1680, 2we useG5530 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG3954 our speechG3954,

13and we are not likeG2509 MosesG3475, 3who used to putG5087 a veilG2571 overG1909 his faceG4383 soG4314 thatG4314 the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 would not stareG816 at the endG5056 of what was fadingG2673 awayG2673.

14But their mindsG3540 were 4hardenedG4456; for untilG891 thisG4594 veryG4594 dayG2250 at the 5readingG320 of 6the oldG3820 covenantG1242 the sameG846 veilG2571 7remainsG3306 unliftedG343, becauseG3754 it is removedG2673 in ChristG5547.

15But to thisG4594 dayG4594 wheneverG2259 G302 MosesG3475 is readG314, a veilG2571 liesG2749 overG1909 their heartsG2588;

16 8but wheneverG2259 G1437 someone turnsG1994 to the LordG2962, the veilG2571 is takenG4014 awayG4014.

17NowG1161 the LordG2962 is the SpiritG4151, and whereG3757 9the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, 10there is freedomG1657.

18But we allG3956, with unveiledG343 facesG4383, 11lookingG2734 asG2734 inG2734 aG2734 mirrorG2734 at the 12gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are being 13transformedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 from gloryG1391 to gloryG1391, justG2509 asG2509 from 14the LordG2962, the SpiritG4151.
