2 Corinthians 3:7-18
The Glory of the New Covenant

7 But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:

7:

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

8:

9 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

9:

10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

10:

11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.

11:

12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

12:

13 And not as Moses, [which] put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

13:

14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [vail] is done away in Christ.

14:

15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

15:

16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

16:

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.

17:

18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

18:
