2 Corinthians 3:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 3
7 Or, si le ministère de la mort, gravé avec des lettres sur des pierres, a été glorieux, au point que les fils d’Israël ne pouvaient fixer les regards sur le visage de Moïse, à cause de la gloire de son visage, bien que cette gloire fût passagère,
8 combien le ministère de l’esprit ne sera-t-il pas plus glorieux!
9 Si le ministère de la condamnation a été glorieux, le ministère de la justice est de beaucoup supérieur en gloire.
10 Et, sous ce rapport, ce qui a été glorieux ne l’a point été, à cause de cette gloire qui lui est supérieure.
11 En effet, si ce qui était passager a été glorieux, ce qui est permanent est bien plus glorieux.
