Bible: 2 Corinthians 3:7-13
The Greater Glory of the Spirit’s Ministry
3:7 But if the ministry that produced death – carved in letters on stone tablets 1 – came with glory, so that the Israelites 2 could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face 3 (a glory 4 which was made ineffective), 5 3:8 how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be? 6 3:9 For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, 7 how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness 8 excel 9 in glory! 3:10 For indeed, what had been glorious now 10 has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it. 11 3:11 For if what was made ineffective 12 came with 13 glory, how much more has what remains 14 come in glory! 3:12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we behave with great boldness, 15 3:13 and not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites 16 from staring 17 at the result 18 of the glory that was made ineffective. 19
