3:7 But if the ministry that produced death – carved in letters on stone tablets 1 – came with glory, so that the Israelites 2 could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face 3 (a glory 4 which was made ineffective), 5 3:8 how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be? 6 3:9 For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, 7 how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness 8 excel 9 in glory!
