2 Corinthians 3:16 in Context — 2 Corinthians 3

14 Empero los sentidos de ellos se embotaron; porque hasta el día de hoy [les] queda el mismo velo no descubierto en la lección del antiguo testamento, el cual por Cristo es quitado.

15 Y aun hasta el día de hoy, cuando Moisés es leído, el velo está puesto sobre el corazón de ellos.

16 Mas cuando se convirtieren al Señor, el velo se quitará.

17 Porque el Señor es el Espíritu; y donde hay el Espíritu del Señor, [allí] hay libertad.

18 Por tanto, nosotros todos, mirando á cara descubierta como en un espejo la gloria del Señor, somos transformados de gloria en gloria en la misma semejanza, como por el Espíritu del Señor.
