2Corinthians:3:7-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But if the ministry of death ,
having been engraved in letters in stone was with glory (
so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses because of the glory of his face ),
which was being done away ;
*
shall not the ministry of the Spirit be with more glory ?
*
For if the ministry of condemnation [
is ]
glorious ,
much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed in glory .
*
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect ,
because of the glory that excels .
*
For if that which has been done away [
was ]
glorious ,
much more that which remains [
is ]
glorious .
*
Then since we have such hope ,
we use great plainness of speech .
*
And we are not like Moses , [
who ]
put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of the thing being done away .
* (
But their thoughts were blinded ;
for until the present the same veil remains on the reading of the old covenant ,
not taken away .)
But this veil has been done away in Christ .
*
But until this day ,
when Moses is read ,
the veil is on their heart .
*
But whenever it turns to [
the ]
Lord ,
the veil shall be taken away .
*
And the Lord [
is ]
that Spirit ;
and where the Spirit of [
the ]
Lord [
is ],
there [
is ]
liberty .
*
But we all ,
with [
our ]
face having been unveiled ,
having beheld the glory of the Lord as in a mirror ,
are being changed into the same image from glory to glory ,
even as by the Lord Spirit .
