[8] How not the ministration of the spirit rather glorious? [9] For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed glory. [10] For even that which was made glorious in respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. [11] For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. [12] Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: [13] And not as Moses, which put a vail over face, that the children of Israel not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: [14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. [17] Now the Lord that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is liberty. [18] But all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
