Context Readings

New Covenant Ministry

7 Now if the old religious service which resulted in death, although its law was carved in letters of stone, was introduced with a splendor so great that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed on Moses' face because of the splendor that was fading from it, 8 why should not this spiritual service be attended with much greater splendor? 9 For if the service connected with condemnation had such splendor, the service resulting in right standing with God will surely far surpass it in splendor.
