2 Corinthians 3:7-13

^{Tools
7} But if the ^(A)ministry of death, ^(B)in letters engraved on stones, came ^(a)with glory, ^(C)so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, ^{Tools
8} how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? ^{Tools
9} For if ^(D)the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ^(E)ministry of righteousness abound in glory. ^{Tools
10} For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. ^{Tools
11} For if that which fades away was ^(b)with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

^{Tools
12} ^(F)Therefore having such a hope, ^(G)we use great boldness in our speech, ^{Tools
13} and are not like Moses, ^(H)who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.
