2 Corinthians 3:14-18

English Standard Version

¹⁴But ^(A)their minds were ^(B)hardened. For to this day, ^(C)when they read ^(D)the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. ¹⁵Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. ¹⁶But when ^(E)one^[a] turns to the Lord, ^(F)the veil is removed. ¹⁷Now the Lord^[b] is the Spirit, and where ^(G)the Spirit of the Lord is, there is ^(H)freedom. ¹⁸And we all, with unveiled face, ^(I)beholding ^(J)the glory of the Lord,^[c] ^(K)are being transformed into the same image ^(L)from one degree of glory to another.^[d] For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
