11. For if there was glory in that which lasted for a while, how much more glory is there in that which lasts for ever!
12. Because we have this hope, we are very bold.
13. We are not like Moses, who had to put a veil over his face so that the people of Israel would not see the brightness fade and disappear.
14. Their minds, indeed, were closed; and to this very day their minds are covered with the same veil as they read the books of the old covenant. The veil is removed only when a person is joined to Christ.
15. Even today, whenever they read the Law of Moses, the veil still covers their minds.
16. But it can be removed, as the scripture says about Moses: “His veil was removed when he turned to the Lord.”
