12 Therefore, since we have such a hope,¹ we are very bold.² 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face³ to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. 14 But their minds were made dull,⁴ for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant⁵ is read.⁶ It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord,⁷ the veil is taken away.⁸ 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit,⁹ and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.¹⁰ 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect^a¹¹ the Lord's glory,¹² are being transformed into his likeness¹³ with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
