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]

44 And in the days of those kings (A)the God of heaven will set up (B)a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people.

33 He told them another parable. (C)“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in (D)three measures of flour, till it was (E)all leavened.”

2 Corinthians 3:7-11
English Standard Version
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.
