2 Corinthians 3:7-11
1599 Geneva Bible
7 If then the ministration of death written with letters [a]and engraven in stones, was [b]glorious, so that the children of Israel could not behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance (which glory is gone away.)
8 How shall not the [c]ministration of the Spirit be more glorious?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, much more doth the ministration of [d]righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glory.
11 For if that they should be [e]abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth be glorious.
