Hebrews 3:2-6
English Standard Version
2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, (A)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[a] house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but (B)the builder of all things is God.) 5 (C)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (D)as a servant, (E)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as (F)a son. And (G)we are his house, if indeed we (H)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[b]

And we are his house,(G) if indeed we hold firmly(H) to our confidence and the hope(I) in which we glory.

7 Now if (A)the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory (B)that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9 For if there was glory in (C)the ministry of condemnation, (D)the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant
7 Now if the ministry that brought death,(A) which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory,(B) transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation(C) was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!(D) 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
