2 Corinthians 3:9
| ← 2 Corinthians 3:8 | 2 Corinthians 3:9 (KJV) | 2 Corinthians 3:10 → |
|---|---|---|
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
|
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
|
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
