Study note

In 2 Corinthians 3 Paul contrasts the old covenant given through Moses with the new covenant of the Spirit. He recalls how Moses veiled his face after speaking with God, and says that a veil still lies over hearts when the old covenant is read, removed only when someone turns to the Lord.
