2 Corinthians 3:7-11 Now if the ministration of death, as contained in the letter of the law and engraved on stones, was so glorious that the children of Israel could not look at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance; which glory was not lasting:

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now if the ministration of death, as contained in the letter of the law and engraved on stones, was so glorious that the children of Israel could not look at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance; which glory was not lasting: ⁸ Why then shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious? ⁹ For if there be glory in the ministration of condemnation, much more will the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. ¹⁰ Just as that which was not glorious became glorified, in comparison with that, this excels in glory. ¹¹ For if that which was not lasting was glorious, much more glorious will that be which endures.
