2 Corinthians 3 12-2 Corinthians 3 18
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we behave with great boldness,and not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from staring at the result of the glory that was made ineffective.But their minds were closed. For to this very day, the same veil remains when they hear the old covenant read. It has not been removed because only in Christ is it taken away.But until this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their minds,but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
