2 Corinthians 3:12

¹⁰ Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.

¹¹ For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

¹³ We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

¹⁴ But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
