2 Corinthians 3:11

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.

2 Corinthians 3:11

II Corinthians 3:11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious. That which was glorious in the Old Covenant, or law. It includes the Decalogue. The whole is done away. This clear and emphatic statement is made on account of the Judaizing teachers of whom we find many traces in the two Letters to the Corinthian church. It is clearly asserted that the Old Covenant, "the ministration of death written and engraven on stones" (II Corinthians 3:7) is done away. We are "not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:14). Compare Hebrews 8:13. Much more that which remaineth [is] glorious. But if that which was done away is glorious, much more is that glorious which abides forever.
