2 Corinthians 3:10

8 how will ^athe ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?

9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry ^aof 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.

12 Therefore, since we have such hope, ^awe use great boldness of speech—

13 unlike Moses, ^awho put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at ^bthe end of what was passing away.

14 But ^atheir minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

16 Nevertheless ^awhen one turns to the Lord, ^bthe veil is taken away.

17 Now ^athe Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is ^bliberty.

2 Corinthians 3:10

For even that which was made glorious - The law, which was exhibited for a time in great glory and splendor, partly when it was given, and partly by the splendor of God in the tabernacle and first temple; but all this ceased and was done away; was intended to give place to the Gospel; and has actually given place to that system; so that now, in no part of the world is that law performed, even by the people who are attached to it and reject the Gospel.

The glory that excelleth - The Gospel dispensation, giving supereminent displays of the justice, holiness, goodness, mercy, and majesty of God.
