2 Corinthians 3:7-11 now if the law engraven on stone, the letter of whose sanction is death, was delivered with such glory, that the children of Israel could not steadily behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, tho' it was transient;

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ now if the law engraven on stone, the letter of whose sanction is death, was delivered with such glory, that the children of Israel could not steadily behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, tho' it was transient; ⁸ shall not the ministration of the spirit be more glorious? ⁹ for if the ministration of condemnation was illustrious, the ministration of righteousness will be much more glorious. ¹⁰ since that which distinguished the first had no glory, when compared to that of the other, which far excell'd it. ¹¹ if that which was only temporary was glorious, much more shall that which is permanent be glorious.
