2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

7 And if the ministry of death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look steadfastly into the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face—which was being made useless,

9 For if the ministry of the condemnation [is] glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory;

10 for also even that which has been glorious, has not been glorious—in this respect, because of the superior glory;

11 for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.

13 and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a veil on his own face, for the sons of Israel not to look steadfastly into the end of that which is being made useless,

14 but their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil at the reading of the Old Covenant remains unwithdrawn—which in Christ is being made useless—
