2 Corinthians 3:12-18
New King James Version
12 Therefore, since we have such hope, (A)we use great boldness of speech— 13 unlike Moses, (B)who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at (C)the end of what was passing away. 14 But (D)their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless (E)when one turns to the Lord, (F)the veil is taken away. 17 Now (G)the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is (H)liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding (I)as in a mirror (J)the glory of the Lord, (K)are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as [a]by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:12-18
New International Version
12 Therefore, since we have such a hope,(A) we are very bold.(B) 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face(C) to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull,(D) for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant(E) is read.(F) It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord,(G) the veil is taken away.(H) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit,(I) and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.(J) 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a](K) the Lord’s glory,(L) are being transformed into his image(M) with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
