2 Corinthians 3:7-13

7But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,

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

9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

10For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.

11For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

12Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech—

13unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
