2 Corinthians 3:14

14 But their minds were closed. ^{▼▼ Grk “their minds were hardened.”} For to this very day, the same veil remains when they hear the old covenant read. ^{▼▼ Grk “the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant”; the phrase “they hear” has been introduced (“when they hear the old covenant read”) to make the link with the “Israelites” (v. 13) whose minds were closed (v. 14a) more obvious to the reader.} It has not been removed because only in Christ is it taken away. ^{▼▼ Or “only in Christ is it eliminated.”}
