* For if the ministration of death in letters engraved on stone was with glory , so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses , because of the glory of his face , which was to be abolished ; * how much rather shall not the ministration of the Spirit be with glory ? * For if the ministration of condemnation was glorious , much more does the ministration of justification abound in glory . * For , indeed , that which was glorified , was not glorified , in this respect , by reason of the transcendent glory . * For if that which is abolished was with glory , much more that which continues , is with glory . * Having , therefore , such confidence , we use great plainness of speech ; * and not as Moses , who put a vail upon his face , that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished . * Indeed , their minds were blinded : for , till this day , the same vail remains in the reading of the Old Institution ; it not being discovered that it is abolished in Christ . * Moreover , till this day , when Moses is read , the vail lies upon their heart . * But when it shall turn to the Lord , the vail shall be taken from around it . * Now , the Lord is the Spirit ; and where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is freedom . * And 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 , as by the Lord , the Spirit .
