2 Corinthians 3:9

English Standard Version

9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. (2Co 3:7; 2Co 11:15; Heb 12:18)

New International Version

9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!

New International Reader’s Version

9 The law that condemns people to death had glory. How much more glory does the work of the Spirit have! His work makes people right with God.

King James Version

9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
