Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. ( P) It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 14 But their minds were made dull, ( N) for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant ( O) is read. ( L) 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face ( M) to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!ġ2 Therefore, since we have such a hope, ( K) we are very bold. ( F) The Greater Glory of the New Covenantħ Now if the ministry that brought death, ( G) 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, ( H) transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation ( I) was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! ( J) 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. ( C) 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant ( D)-not of the letter ( E) but of the Spirit for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves ( B) to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

This series of posts pairs a brief passage of Scripture with associated study notes drawn from the Gospel Transformation Bible.4 Such confidence ( A) we have through Christ before God.
From start to finish, the believer is being transformed by God’s glory, for God’s glory, and into the image of God’s glory. Third, this bold beholding of God’s glory is the very means that the Spirit uses to bring about our utter transformation into the image of God’s glory (2 Cor.

Second, in Christ we are given an unashamed boldness to enjoy our free and limitless access to God (2 Cor.
First, we have unlimited access to the very presence of God (2 Cor. 10:20), literally tearing the temple curtain that formerly acted as a barrier between a holy God and a sinful people (Matt. He himself is the answer to the question, how can we behold the glory of God? Jesus, the new temple, has given us full access to the presence of God “through his flesh” (Heb. This experience is ours “through Christ” (2 Cor. 34:33), Christians can now behold the glory of the Lord with an unveiled face. While Israel could not even look at Moses’ face without the aid of a veil (Ex. 34:29–35), but the new covenant believer’s access is even more astoundingly complete. Moses had a remarkable encounter with the presence of God (Ex. Unlike the ministry of Moses, which was limited, impermanent, veiled, and lacking transformative power, Paul’s new covenant ministry is characterized by an all-surpassing, permanent, unveiled, transformative glory that is mediated by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 "Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.
