8 how much more will the ministry of the Spirit be glorious?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, the ministry of righteousness will abound much more in glory.
10 Indeed, what was endowed with glory has come to have no glory in this respect because of the glory that surpasses it.
11 For if what was going to fade was glorious, how much more will what endures be glorious.
12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we act very boldly
13 and not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites could not look intently at the cessation of what was fading.
14 Rather, their thoughts were rendered dull, for to this present day the same veil remains unlifted when they read the old covenant, because through Christ it is taken away.
