⁷Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance), which is made void:

⁸How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?

⁹For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.

¹⁰For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by reason of the glory that excelleth.

¹¹For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

¹²Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence.

¹³And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.

¹⁴But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).

¹⁵But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.

¹⁶But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
