how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious?
how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?
how will the ministry of the Spirit [the new covenant which allows us to be Spirit-filled] fail to be even more glorious and splendid?
Why should not the dispensation of the Spirit [this spiritual ministry whose task it is to cause men to obtain and be governed by the Holy Spirit] be attended with much greater and more splendid glory?
How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious?
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
Won’t the ministry of the Spirit be much more glorious?
won’t the working of the Spirit be accompanied by even greater glory?
So won't the agreement the Spirit brings to us be even more wonderful?
how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory?
how shall the ministry of the Spirit not be more in glory!
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
So surely the new agreement that comes from the life-giving Spirit has even more glory.
So the new agreement, which comes from God's Spirit, will show the power of God even more.
how will the ministry of the spirit not be much more glorious?
will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory?

So ·surely [L will not…?] the ·new way that brings [L ministry of] the Spirit has even more glory.
How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious?
Won’t the ministry that brings the Spirit have even more glory?
how much greater is the glory that belongs to the activity of the Spirit!
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
So surely the new way that brings the Spirit has even more glory.
will not the Spirit’s ministry have even more glory?
The administration of the Law which was engraved in stone (and which led in fact to spiritual death) was so magnificent that the Israelites were unable to look unflinchingly at Moses’ face, for it was alight with heavenly splendour. Now if the old administration held such heavenly, even though transitory, splendour, can we not see what a much more glorious thing is the new administration of the Spirit of life? If to administer a system which is to end in condemning men was a splendid task, how infinitely more splendid is it to administer a system which ends in making men good! And while it is true that the former temporary glory has been completely eclipsed by the latter, we do well to remember that is eclipsed simply because the present permanent plan is such a very much more glorious thing than the old.
How shall not the ministry of the Spirit be for greater glory?
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more in glory?
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more with glory?
Shall we not expect far greater glory in these days when the Holy Spirit is giving life?
The Government of Death, its constitution chiseled on stone tablets, had a dazzling inaugural. Moses’ face as he delivered the tablets was so bright that day (even though it would fade soon enough) that the people of Israel could no more look right at him than stare into the sun. How much more dazzling, then, the Government of Living Spirit?
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
how much more glorious will be the ministry of the Spirit?
Won’t the ministry that brings the Spirit have even more glory?
how much more will the ministry of the Spirit be glorious?
how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
how much greater will be the glory of the ministry of the Spirit?
So surely the new way that brings the Spirit has even more glory.
how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be?
Since all this is true, won’t the work of the Holy Spirit be even more glorious?
will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
The new way of life through the Holy Spirit comes with much more shining-greatness.
Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life?
why shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious?
how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory?
how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory?
how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory?
how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory?
But in that case, when the spirit is being distributed, won’t that be glorious too?
Then how much more will the avodas kodesh ministry of the Ruach Hakodesh come in kavod (glory)?

will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor?
will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor?

imagine the kind of greater glory that will accompany the ministry of the Spirit.
won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
Now bringing the law was bright and wonderful. Will not bringing the Spirit be far more bright and wonderful?
how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more in glory?
how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
