Koska meillä siis on tämmöinen toivo, niin me olemme aivan rohkeat
3:13 emmekä tee niinkuin Mooses, joka pani peitteen kasvoillensa, etteivät Israelin lapset näkisi sen loppua, mikä on katoavaista.
3:14 Mutta heidän mielensä paatuivat, sillä vielä tänäkin päivänä sama peite, vanhan liiton kirjoituksia luettaessa, pysyy poisottamatta, sillä vasta Kristuksessa se katoaa.
3:15 Vielä tänäkin päivänä, kun Moosesta luetaan, on peite heidän sydämensä päällä;
3:16 mutta kun heidän sydämensä kääntyy Herran tykö, otetaan peite pois.
3:17 Sillä Herra on Henki, ja missä Herran Henki on, siinä on vapaus.
3:18 Mutta me kaikki, jotka peittämättömin kasvoin katselemme Herran kirkkautta kuin kuvastimesta, muutumme saman kuvan kaltaisiksi kirkkaudesta kirkkauteen, niinkuin muuttaa Herra, joka on Henki.
2 Kor 3:
12 Since we have such [glorious] hope
(such joyful and confident expectation), we speak very freely and openly
and fearlessly.
13 Nor [do we act] like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the finish of the vanishing [splendor which had been upon it].
13 Nor [do we act] like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the finish of the vanishing [splendor which had been upon it].
14 In fact, their minds were grown hard and calloused [they had become dull and had lost the power of understanding]; for until this present day, when the Old Testament (the old covenant) is being read, that same veil still lies [on their hearts], not being lifted [to reveal] that in Christ it is made void and done away.
15 Yes, down to this [very] day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their minds and hearts.
16 But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).
18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

2 Kor 3: 12 Since we know that this new glory will never go away, we can preach with great boldness, 13 and not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelis could not see the glory fade away. 14 Not only Moses’ face was veiled, but his people’s minds and understanding were veiled and blinded too. Even now when the Scripture is read it seems as though Jewish hearts and minds are covered by a thick veil, because they cannot see and understand the real meaning of the Scriptures. For this veil of misunderstanding can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings their hearts are blind and they think that obeying the Ten Commandments is the way to be saved.16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord from his sins, then the veil is taken away. 17 The Lord is the Spirit who gives them life, and where he is there is freedom from trying to be saved by keeping the laws of God.[a] 18 But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him.
