2 Corinthians 3:12-18
Legacy Standard Bible
12 (A)Therefore having such a hope, (B)we use great boldness, 13 and are not like Moses, (C)who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the consequence of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were (D)hardened; for until this very day at the (E)reading of (F)the old covenant the same veil [a]remains unlifted, because it is brought to an end in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart, 16 but (G)whenever a person turns to the [b]Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where (H)the Spirit of the Lord is, (I)there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, (J)beholding as in a mirror the (K)glory of the Lord, are being (L)transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from (M)the Lord, the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:12-18
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. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, (K)beholding (L)the glory of the Lord,[c] (M)are being transformed into the same image (N)from one degree of glory to another.[d] For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
