2 Corinthians 3:8

2 Corinthians 3:8

6 who also made us sufficient as ^aministers of ^bthe new covenant, not ^cof the letter but of the Spirit; for ^dthe letter kills, ^ebut the Spirit gives life.

Glory of the New Covenant

7 But if ^athe ministry of death, ^bwritten and engraved on stones, was glorious, ^cso 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 ^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.

II Corinthians 3:8 How shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? The gospel, the ministration of life, must have still greater glory. It has a glory now, and will have a fuller glory in the day of the Lord.
