8. So surely the new way that brings the Spirit has even more glory.
9. That law judged people guilty of sin, but it had glory. So surely the new way that makes people right with God has much greater glory.
10. That old law had glory. But it really loses its glory when it is compared to the much greater glory of this new way.
11. If that law which disappeared came with glory, then this new way which continues forever has much greater glory.
12. We have this hope, so we are very brave.
13. We are not like Moses. He put a covering over his face so that the people of Israel would not see it. The glory was disappearing, and Moses did not want them to see it end.
14. But their minds were closed. Even today that same covering hides the meaning when they read the old agreement. That covering is taken away only through Christ.
15. But even today, when they read the law of Moses, there is a covering over their minds.
