* But if the ministration of death , written and engraven in stones , was glorious , so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance ; which glory was to be done away : * How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious ? * For if the ministration of condemnation be glory , much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory . * For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect , by reason of the glory that excelleth . * For if that which is done away was glorious , much more that which remaineth is glorious . * Seeing then that we have such hope , we use great plainness of speech : * And not as Moses , which put a vail over his face , that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished : * But their minds were blinded : for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament ; which vail is done away in Christ . * But even unto this day , when Moses is read , the vail is upon their heart . * Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord , the vail shall be taken away . * Now the Lord is that Spirit : and where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is liberty . * But we all , with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord , are changed into the same image from glory to glory , even as by the Spirit of the Lord .
