2 Corinthians 3:7-9

New International Reader's Version

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant

⁷ The Law was written in letters on stone. Even though it was a way of serving God, it led to death. But even that way of serving God came with glory. The glory lasted for only a short time. Even so, the people of Israel couldn’t look at Moses’ face very long. ⁸ Since all this is true, won’t the work of the Holy Spirit be even more glorious? ⁹ The law that condemns people to death had glory. How much more glory does the work of the Spirit have! His work makes people right with God.
