2 Corinthians 3:9-11
New English Translation

9 For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation,[a] how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness[b] excel[c] in glory! 10 For indeed, what had been glorious now[d] has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.[e] 11 For if what was made ineffective[f] came with[g] glory, how much more has what remains[h] come in glory!
