2 Corinthians 3:12

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

Verse in context — 2 Corinthians 3

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.

But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

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