‏ 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

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• The old way has been replaced by the new way, which is eternal (Heb 8:8-13  c).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).
