¹³ We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face^(A) to prevent the Israelites from gazing steadily until the end^[a] of the glory of what was being set aside, ¹⁴ but their minds were hardened.^(B) For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant,^(C) the same veil remains; it is not lifted, because it is set aside only in Christ.^{(D) 15} Yet still today, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts, ¹⁶ but whenever a person turns^(E) to the Lord, the veil is removed.^(F)

³ But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
