2 Corinthians 3:7

The Glory of the New Covenant

2 Corinthians 3:9-11
New Living Translation

2 Corinthians 3:13-14
New Living Translation
13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ.
