2 Cor 3:7 ¶ But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,
2 Cor 3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
2 Cor 3:9 For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
2 Cor 3:10 For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.
2 Cor 3:11 For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
2 Cor 3:12 ¶ Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,
2 Cor 3:13 and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.
2 Cor 3:14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.
2 Cor 3:15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;
2 Cor 3:16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Cor 3:18 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 from the Lord, the Spirit.
2 Cor 4:1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,
2 Cor 4:2 but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
2 Cor 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
2 Cor 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Cor 4:5 For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake.
2 Cor 4:6 For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
2 Cor 4:7 ¶ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;
2 Cor 4:8we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
