And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

    4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

    5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

    13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

    15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

    16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

    17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

    18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
