2 Corinthians 3:6-18
Summary for 2Cor 3:7-11: 3:7-11 a The old covenant had its moments of glory, such as when Moses’ face . . . shone from his communion with the Lord (Exod 34:29-35 b).• The old way has been replaced by the new way, which is eternal (Heb 8:8-13 c).
Summary for 2Cor 3:12-15: 3:12-15 d The old covenant, represented by Moses’ veil, led to fear and did not remove spiritual blindness.
Summary for 2Cor 3:16-18: 3:16-18 e The believer who turns to the Lord has freedom in the Spirit. We receive something Moses never knew as we become more and more like Christ (4:4 f; John 1:1-14 g; Col 1:15 h; Heb 1:1-4 i) and reflect the glory of the Lord. Divine glory in this present life leads to our being like Christ in the next life (Rom 8:29 j; Gal 4:19 k; Phil 3:21 l; 1 Jn 3:2 m).
