isv 2Corinthians:3:7-18
isv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministry of death that was inscribed in letters of stone came with such glory that the people of Israel could not gaze on Moses’ face (because the glory was fading away from it),
isv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the Spirit's ministry have even more glory?
isv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, then the ministry of justification has an overwhelming glory.
isv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ In fact, that which once had glory lost its glory, because the other glory surpassed it.
isv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which fades away came through glory, how much more does that which is permanent have glory?
isv@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, since we have such a hope, we speak with great boldness,
isv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ not like Moses, who kept covering his face with a veil to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of what was fading away.
isv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ However, their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil is still there when they read the old covenant. Only in union with Christ is that veil removed.
isv@2Corinthians:3:15 @ Yet even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
isv@2Corinthians:3:16 @ But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
isv@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Lord's Spirit is, there is freedom.
isv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are being transformed into the same image with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit.
