Strongs On/Off
Context
3:12 Therefore , since we have such a hope , we behave with great boldness ,
3:13 and not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from staring at the result of the glory that was made ineffective .
3:14 But their minds were closed . For to this very day , the same veil remains when they hear the old covenant read . It has not been removed because only in Christ is it taken away .
3:15 But until this very day whenever Moses is read , a veil lies over their minds ,
3:16 but when one turns to the Lord , the veil is removed .
3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit , and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom .
3:18 And we all , with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord , are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another , which is from the Lord , who is the Spirit .
