2 Corinthians 3:7-13

7Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was,

8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

9If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!

10For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.

11And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.
