We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the Israelites could not stare at the end of what was fading away,

Even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts,

For we who live are always given over to death because of Jesus, so that Jesus’ life may also be revealed in our mortal flesh.

For this reason we have been comforted.

In addition to our comfort, we rejoiced even more over the joy Titus had, because his spirit was refreshed by all of you.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—to present a pure virgin to Christ.
