2 Corinthians 3:7-11 But, if, the ministry of death, in letters engraven in stones, was brought into existence with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadfastly into the face of Moses, by reason of the glory of his face–

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But, if, the ministry of death, in letters engraven in stones, was brought into existence with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadfastly into the face of Moses, by reason of the glory of his face––which [glory] was to be done away, ⁸ How shall not, rather, the ministry of the Spirit, be with glory? ⁹ For, if, the ministry of condemnation was glory, much rather, doth the ministry of righteousness abound with glory, ¹⁰ For that which hath been made glorious, hath not even been made glorious, in this respect,––by reason of the surpassing glory. ¹¹ For, if that which was to be done away [was brought in] with glory, much more, that which is to abide, is in glory.
