    7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

    9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

    10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

    11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
