2 Corinthians 3:12

← 2 Corinthians 3:11	2 Corinthians 3:12 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 3:13 →
For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.	Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:	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:
