2 Corinthians 3:7-11
New American Standard Bible
7 But if the (A)ministry of death, engraved (B)in letters on stones, came [a]with glory (C)so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if (D)the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the (E)ministry of righteousness excel in glory. 10 For indeed what had glory in this case has no glory, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if that which fades away was [b]with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

New King James Version
Glory of the New Covenant
7 But if (A)the ministry of death, (B)written and engraved on stones, was glorious, (C)so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will (D)the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry (E)of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
