2 Korintus 3:16-18

3:16 but when one ¹  turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. ²  3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, ³  there is freedom. 3:18 And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, ⁴  are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, ⁵  which is from ⁶  the Lord, who is the Spirit. ⁷ 

[3:16]  ¹ tn Or perhaps “when(ever) he turns,” referring to Moses.

[3:16]  ² sn An allusion to Exod 34:34. The entire verse may refer to Moses, viewing him as a type portraying the Jewish convert to Christianity in Paul’s day.

[3:17]  ³ tn Grk “where the Spirit of the Lord is”; the word “present” is supplied to specify that the presence of the Lord’s Spirit is emphasized rather than the mere existence of the Lord’s Spirit.

[3:18]  ⁴ tn Or “we all with unveiled faces beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror.”

[3:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “from glory to glory.”

[3:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “just as from.”

[3:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “from the Lord, the Spirit”; the genitive πνεύματος (pneumato") has been translated as a genitive of apposition.
