Hebrews 3:2-6
New International Version
2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.(A) 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(B) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(C) 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant(D) in all God’s house,”[a](E) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son(F) over God’s house. And we are his house,(G) if indeed we hold firmly(H) to our confidence and the hope(I) in which we glory.

King James Version
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

2 Corinthians 3:7-11
New International Version
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!
2 Corinthians 3:7-11
King James Version
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
