New International Reader's Version

2 Corinthians 3:11-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. The glory of the old is fading away. How much greater is the glory of the new! It will last forever.

12. Since we have that kind of hope, we are very bold.

13. We are not like Moses. He used to cover his face with a veil. That was to keep the people of Israel from looking at his face while the brightness was fading away.

14. But their minds were made stubborn. To this very day, the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. The veil has not been removed. Only faith in Christ can take it away.

15. To this very day, when the Law of Moses is read, a veil covers the minds of those who hear it.
