2 Corinthians 3:7-11 For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though soon evanescent;

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though [soon] evanescent; ⁸ how much more will not the ministry of the Spirit be attended with glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministry of righteousness excel in glory. ¹⁰ For that which was glorious hath no glory, comparatively, because of the glory which excelleth. ¹¹ For if that which was abolished came in a glorious manner, much more is that which remaineth glorious.
