2 Corinthians 3Ministers of the New Covenant

1

4Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.

5 came in glory so that the people of Israel could not gaze at Moses’s face because of the glory of his face, a glory now set aside,

8how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory?

9 much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory!

10Indeed, what once had glory has in this respect lost its glory because of the greater glory,

11for if what was set aside came through glory, much more has the permanent come in glory!

12 was being set aside.

16Rom 11.23but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

17Isa 61.1, 2; Jn 8.32; 1 Cor 15.45Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

18Rom 8.29; 1 Cor 13.12; 2 Cor 4.4, 6And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.
