2 Corinthians 3:12-18

New American Standard Bible

^12 (A)Therefore, having such a hope, ^(B)we use great boldness in our speech, ¹³ and we are not like Moses, ^(C)who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away. ¹⁴ But their minds were ^(D)hardened; for until this very day at the ^(E)reading of ^(F)the old covenant the same veil ^[a]remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. ¹⁵ But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; ^16 (G)but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where ^(H)the Spirit of the Lord is, ^(I)there is freedom. ¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled faces, ^(J)looking as in a mirror at the ^(K)glory of the Lord, are being ^(L)transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from ^(M)the Lord, the Spirit.
