how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be?

For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

For if what was made ineffective came with glory, how much more has what remains come in glory!

And his affection for you is much greater when he remembers the obedience of you all, how you welcomed him with fear and trembling.

For how were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
