2 Corinthians 3 12-2 Corinthians 3 18
Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness.We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the Israelites could not stare at the end of what was fading away,but their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not lifted, because it is set aside only in Christ.Even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts,but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
