2 Corinthians 3:12-18
New American Standard Bible
12 (A)Therefore, having such a hope, (B)we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and we are not like Moses, (C)who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away. 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 removed in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; 16 (G)but whenever someone turns to the 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 faces, (J)looking as in a mirror at 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
New King James Version
12 Therefore, since we have such hope, (A)we use great boldness of speech— 13 unlike Moses, (B)who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at (C)the end of what was passing away. 14 But (D)their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless (E)when one turns to the Lord, (F)the veil is taken away. 17 Now (G)the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is (H)liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding (I)as in a mirror (J)the glory of the Lord, (K)are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as [a]by the Spirit of the Lord.
