2 Corinthians

• 2 Corinthians 3:13
  And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.
• 2 Corinthians 3:14
  But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.
• 2 Corinthians 3:15
  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
• 2 Corinthians 3:16
  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
