8. won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
9. For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10. For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
11. For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12. Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
13. and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
14. But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away.
15. But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16. But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17. Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18. But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
