GLORY 2 Corinthians 3:7-8

Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 

Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone 
2 Corinthians 3:9  If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!
Romans 4:13-15  It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory 
2 Corinthians 3:13  We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.
Exodus 34:29-35  When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the LORD had given him on Mount Sinai. When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. But whenever he entered the LORD's presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
Isaiah 42:21  It pleased the LORD for the sake of his righteousness to make his law great and glorious.
