For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, how much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. For indeed that which was glorious, has ceased to be glorious in this respect on account of the transcendent glory.

Then having such hope, we use great boldness, and not as Moses put the veil on his face, in order that the sons of Israel might not look forward to the end of that which was transitory. But their minds were darkened. For until this day the same veil remains in the reading of the old covenant, remains, not lifted; because it is done away in Christ; but until this day when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart: but when they may turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. But the Lord is a Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
