For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.

For if that which was fading away [i.e., the Old Agreement, represented by the law of Moses] had splendor, how much greater is the splendor of that which remains [i.e., the New Agreement represented by the Gospel]? [Note: In this section Paul uses the analogy of the fading splendor on Moses' face to the fading splendor of the Old Agreement].

For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.
