2 Corinthians 3:7-11 For if the ministration of death in letters engraved on stone was with glory, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was to be abolished;

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For if the ministration of death in letters engraved on stone was with glory, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was to be abolished; ⁸ how much rather shall not the ministration of the Spirit be with glory? ⁹ For if the ministration of condemnation was glorious, much more does the ministration of justification abound in glory. ¹⁰ For, indeed, that which was glorified, was not glorified, in this respect, by reason of the transcendent glory. ¹¹ For if that which is abolished was with glory, much more that which continues, is with glory.
