2 Corinthians 3:7-18

⁷But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away: ⁸won`t rather service of the spirit be rather with more glory? ⁹For if the service of condemnation has glory, much rather does the service of righteousness exceed in glory. ¹⁰For most assuredly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses. ¹¹For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

¹²Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, ¹³and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn`t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away. ¹⁴But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ in passes away. ¹⁵But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. ¹⁶But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ¹⁷Now the Lord is the Spirita and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ¹⁸But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
