A.T. Robertson Commentary
"For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory." — 2 Corinthians 3:9 (ASV)
Of condemnation (της κατακρισεως). Genitive, that brings condemnation because unable to obey the law.
Is glory (δοξα). No copula, but makes the figure bolder. Paul freely admits the glory for the old dispensation.
Of righteousness (της δικαιοσυνης). Marked by and leading to righteousness. See 11:15.
Much more (πολλω μαλλον). Instrumental case, by much more.
Exceed (περισσευε). Overflow.
