2 Corinthians 3:11

“For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.”

Verse in context — 2 Corinthians 3

For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

Paul’s defense of his ministry and encouragement in hardship.
