8. will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory?
9. For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.
10. Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it.
11. For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.
12. Since we have such a hope, we are very bold,
13. not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end.
14. But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.
15. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts.
