2 Corinthians 3:7-14

7But if the ministry that produced death – carved in letters on stone tablets – came with glory, so that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face (a glory which was made ineffective),

8how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be?

9For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

10For indeed, what had been glorious now has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.

11For if what was made ineffective came with glory, how much more has what remains come in glory!

12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we behave with great boldness,

13and not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from staring at the result of the glory that was made ineffective.

14But their minds were closed. For to this very day, the same veil remains when they hear the old covenant read. It has not been removed because only in Christ is it taken away.
