"Therefore, having such a hope, we act with much confidence, "
— 2 Corinthians 3:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:”
“Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, ”
“Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,”
“Therefore, since we have such a hope, we behave with great boldness,”
“Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence.”
“Having then such a hope, we keep nothing back,”
“Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:”
For if the ministration of condemnation is with glory, so much more is the ministration of justice abundant in glory.
And neither was it glorified by means of an excellent glory, though it was made illustrious in its own way.
For if even what was temporary has its glory, then what is lasting has an even greater glory.
Therefore, having such a hope, we act with much confidence,
and not as Moses did, in placing a veil over his face, so that the sons of Israel would not gaze intently at his face. This was ineffective,
for their minds were obtuse. And, even until this present day, the very same veil, in the readings from the Old Testament, remains not taken away (though, in Christ, it is taken away).
But even until today, when Moses is read, a veil is still set over their hearts.
