11. For if what was transitory came with glory, by much more what remains is with glory.
12. Therefore, because we have such a hope, we use much boldness,
13. and not as Moses used to place a veil over his face, in order that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was transitory.
14. But their minds were hardened. For until this very day, the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, not being uncovered, because it is done away with in Christ.
15. But until today, whenever Moses is read aloud, a veil lies upon their heart,
16. but whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
17. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18. And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory into glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
