even unto this day, when Moses is read, a vail lies upon their heart.
(16)But whenever it turns to the Lord, the vail is taken away.

(17)Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty. (18)But we all, with unvailed face beholding in a
mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from
glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

THEREFORE, having this ministry, as we received mercy, we faint not.
(2)But we renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in
craftiness, nor falsifying the word of God; but, by the manifestation
of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the
sight of God. (3)But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed in those

works in us, but life in you.

(13)But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written,
I believed, therefore did I speak, we also believe, therefore also
speak; (14)knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise up
us also with Jesus, and will present us with you. (15)For all things
are for your sakes; that the grace, abounding through the greater
number, might make the thanksgiving more abundant, to the glory of
God.

(16)For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perishes,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day: (17)For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, works out for us a far more
