12  Having therefore such hope, we use much boldness: 13  and not according as Moses put a veil on his own face, so that the children of Israel should not fix their eyes on the end of that annulled. 14  But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled. 15  But unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart. 16  But when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.) 17  Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18  But we all, looking on the glory of the Lord, with unveiled face, are transformed according to the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Lord the Spirit.

Chapter 4

1  Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not. 2  But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
