6. He also made us competent as servants of a new covenant—not of the letter, but of the Ruach. For the letter kills, but the Ruach gives life.
7. Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that Bnei-Yisrael could not look intently upon Moses’ face because of its glory—although it was passing away—
8. how will the ministry of the Ruach not be even more glorious?
9. For if there is glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness overflows even more in glory.
10. For even what was glorious is not glorious in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.
11. For if what is passing away is glorious, much more what remains is glorious.
12. Therefore, having such a hope, we act with great boldness.
13. We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face in order for Bnei-Yisrael not to look intently upon the end of what was passing away.
14. But their minds were hardened. For up to this very day the same veil remains unlifted at the reading of the ancient covenant, since in Messiah it is passing away.
15. But to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart.
