Clarity and Transformation by the Spirit
2 Corinthians 3:12-18
12
Therefore, with a hope like this, we are very open —
13
unlike Moshe, who put a veil over his face, so that the people of Isra’el would not see the fading brightness come to an end.
14
What is more, their minds were made stonelike; for to this day the same veil remains over them when they read the Old Covenant; it has not been unveiled, because only by the Messiah is the veil taken away.
15
Yes, till today, whenever Moshe is read, a veil lies over their heart.
16
“But,” says the Torah, “whenever someone turns to Adonai, the veil is taken away.”
17
Now, “Adonai” in this text means the Spirit. And where the Spirit of Adonai is, there is freedom.
18
So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit.
