2 Corinthians 3:7-11

7 Now if ^athe ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory ^bthat the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9 For if there was glory in ^cthe ministry of condemnation, ^dthe ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

Hebrews 3:1-6

Jesus Greater Than Moses

1 Therefore, holy brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verse 12} you who share in ^fa heavenly calling, consider Jesus, ^gthe apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, ^hjust as Moses also was faithful in all God’s ^{▼▼Greek his; also verses 5, 6} house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but ^jthe builder of all things is God.) 5 ^kNow Moses was faithful in all God’s house ^las a servant, ^mto testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as ⁿa son. And ^owe are his house, if indeed we ^phold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts insert firm to the end}
