* But if the ministry of death , written and engraved on stones , was glorious , so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance , which glory was passing away , * how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious ? * For if the ministry of condemnation had glory , the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory . * For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect , because of the glory that excels . * For if what is passing away was glorious , what remains is much more glorious . * Therefore , since we have such hope , we use great boldness of speech -- * unlike Moses , who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away . * But their minds were blinded . For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament , because the veil is taken away in Christ . * But even to this day , when Moses is read , a veil lies on their heart . * Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord , the veil is taken away . * Now the Lord is the Spirit ; and where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is liberty . * But we all , with unveiled face , beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord , are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory , just as by the Spirit of the Lord .
