³⁰ And behold, two men talked with Him, who were ^(A)Moses and ^(B)Elijah,

³ For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as ^(A)He who built the house has more honor than the house. ⁴ For every house is built by someone, but ^(B)He who built all things is God. ^5 (C)And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as ^(D)a servant, ^(E)for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, ⁶ but Christ as ^(F)a Son over His own house, ^(G)whose house we are ^(H)if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope ^[a]firm to the end.

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.

God’s Righteousness Through Faith

²¹ But now ^(A)the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, ^(B)being witnessed by the Law ^(C)and the Prophets, ²² even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all ^[a]and on all who believe. For ^(D)there is no difference; ²³ for ^(E)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

¹⁷ For ^(A)the law was given through Moses, but ^(B)grace and ^(C)truth came through Jesus Christ.
