1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?

7Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void:

13And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.

14But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).
