³³ And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a ^(A)veil over his face.

⁴ In their case ^(A)the god of this world ^(B)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing ^(C)the light of ^(D)the gospel of the glory of Christ, ^(E)who is the image of God. ⁵ For what ^(F)we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ^(G)ourselves as your servants^[a] for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For God, who said, ^(H)“Let light shine out of darkness,” ^(I)has shone in our hearts to give ^(J)the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹³ not like Moses, ^(A)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 ^(B)their minds were ^(C)hardened. For to this day, ^(D)when they read ^(E)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 ^(F)one^[a] turns to the Lord, ^(G)the veil is removed. ¹⁷ Now the Lord^[b] is the Spirit, and where ^(H)the Spirit of the Lord is, there is ^(I)freedom. ¹⁸ And we all, with unveiled face, ^(J)beholding ^(K)the glory of the Lord,^{[c] (L)}are being transformed into the same image ^(M)from one degree of glory to another.^[d] For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

⁴ For ^(A)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.^[a]
