2 Corinthians 3:16-17

3:16 but when one ¹  turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. ²  3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, ³  there is freedom.

[3:16]  ¹ tn Or perhaps “when(ever) he turns,” referring to Moses.

[3:16]  ² sn An allusion to Exod 34:34. The entire verse may refer to Moses, viewing him as a type portraying the Jewish convert to Christianity in Paul’s day.

[3:17]  ³ tn Grk “where the Spirit of the Lord is”; the word “present” is supplied to specify that the presence of the Lord’s Spirit is emphasized rather than the mere existence of the Lord’s Spirit.
