2 Corinthians 3:7-13 — Legacy Standard Bible

⁷But if the ^aministry of death, ^bin letters having been engraved on stones, came ¹with glory, ^cso that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, which was being brought to an end, ⁸how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more in glory? ⁹For if ^athe ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ^bministry of righteousness abound in glory. ¹⁰For indeed what had been glorious, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. ¹¹For if that which was being brought to an end was ¹with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

¹²^aTherefore having such a hope, ^bwe use great boldness, ¹³and are not like Moses, ^awho used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the consequence of what was being brought to an end.
