King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
7
Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was,
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
8
will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
9
If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!
