2 Corinthians 3:11-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech

2 Corinthians 3:11-12 The Passion Translation (TPT)

The fading ministry came with a portion of glory, but now we embrace the unfading ministry of a permanent impartation of glory. So then, with this amazing hope living in us, we step out in freedom and boldness to speak the truth.

2 Corinthians 3:9-15 The Message (MSG)

If the Government of Condemnation was impressive, how about this Government of Affirmation? Bright as that old government was, it would look downright dull alongside this new one. If that makeshift arrangement impressed us, how much more this brightly shining government installed for eternity? With that kind of hope to excite us, nothing holds us back. Unlike Moses, we have nothing to hide. Everything is out in the open with us. He wore a veil so the children of Israel wouldn’t notice that the glory was fading away—and they didn’t notice. They didn’t notice it then and they don’t notice it now, don’t notice that there’s nothing left behind that veil. Even today when the proclamations of that old, bankrupt government are read out, they can’t see through it. Only Christ can get rid of the veil so they can see for themselves that there’s nothing there.

2 Corinthians 3:11-12 King James Version (KJV)

If that law which disappeared came with glory, then this new way which continues forever has much greater glory. We have this hope, so we are very bold.

2 Corinthians 3:11-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory. Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech

2 Corinthians 3:11-12 New International Version (NIV)

And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

2 Corinthians 3:11-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

For if that [Law] which fades away came with glory, how much more must that [gospel] which remains and is permanent abide in glory and splendor! Since we have such a [glorious] hope and confident expectation, we speak with great courage

2 Corinthians 3:11-12 New Living Translation (NLT)

So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold.
