2 Corinthians 3:12-17

English Standard Version

¹² Since we have such a hope, ^(A)we are very bold, ¹³ not like Moses, ^(B)who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. ¹⁴ But ^(C)their minds were ^(D)hardened. For to this day, ^(E)when they read ^(F)the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. ¹⁵ Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. ¹⁶ But when ^(G)one^[a] turns to the Lord, ^(H)the veil is removed. ¹⁷ Now the Lord^[b] is the Spirit, and where ^(I)the Spirit of the Lord is, there is ^(J)freedom.
