2 Corinthians 3:8 Context
6Who also hath made vs able ministers of the New Testament, not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giueth life. 7But if the ministration of death written, and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly beholde the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which glorie was to be done away: 8How shall not the ministration of the spirit, be rather glorious? 9For if the ministration of condemnation bee glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousnesse exceed in glorie. 10For euen that which was made glorious, had no glorie in this respect by reason of the glorie that excelleth.
