2 Corinthians 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 3:15

But even unto this day, when Moses is read
These words are an explanation of the former, and show that by the Old Testament is designed, more especially, Moses, or the writings of Moses; which were frequently read, and preached upon in the Jewish synagogues; see ( Acts 13:15 ) ( 15:21 ) and that by "the veil untaken away", is meant,

the veil upon their heart;
that is, the veil of blindness, ignorance of Christ, and the Gospel; of the prophecies of the Old Testament, and even of the law itself, its nature, use, and end; preferring the traditions of their fathers, before the written law of Moses.

2 Corinthians 3:15 In-Context

13 And not as Moses, who put a veil over his face, that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that glory which was to fade away:

14 (And thus their senses became hardened, for until this day remains the same veil not uncovered in the reading of the old testament, which veil is taken away in Christ.

15 But even unto this day when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.

16 Nevertheless when they convert to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.)

17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and where that Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
