For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness excel in glory.

若是定罪的职事有荣光，那称义的职事荣光就越发大了。

若是那使人定罪的事奉有荣光，那使人称义的事奉的荣光就越发大了。

若是那使人定罪的事奉有荣光，那使人称义的事奉的荣光就越发大了。

那定人罪的事工尚且有荣耀，这使人被称为义人的事工岂不更有荣耀吗？

如果那定人有罪的工作尚且有荣光，那使人称义的工作就更有荣光了！

因为那带来定罪的服事工作尚且有荣光，何况那带来称义的服事工作，难道不更充满了荣光吗？

若是定罪的職事有榮光，那稱義的職事榮光就越發大了。

那定人罪的事工尚且有榮耀，這使人被稱為義人的事工豈不更有榮耀嗎？

如果那定人有罪的工作尚且有榮光，那使人稱義的工作就更有榮光了！

引致定罪的職事尚且有榮光，引致稱義的職事就越滿溢着榮光了。

因為那帶來定罪的服事工作尚且有榮光，何況那帶來稱義的服事工作，難道不更充滿了榮光嗎？

若致罪之役既榮、則致義之役益榮矣、

若定罪之法榮、則稱義之法益榮、

若定罪之役有榮、則稱義之役更榮、

彼掌定罪之職者、尚且有榮、則參贊成道之事者、其榮將有不可思議者矣！

If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!

The law that condemns people to death had glory. How much more glory does the work of the Spirit have! His work makes people right with God.

For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.

If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God!

For if the ministry that brought condemnation had glory, the ministry that brings righteousness overflows with even more glory.

For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness overflows with even more glory.

For if the ministration of condemnation[ be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

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

For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words, which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them.For they could not cope with the command,“ If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.”And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said,“ I am terrified and trembling.”

But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction,

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

For indeed what had glory in this case has no glory, because of the glory that surpasses it.For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

For all who are of works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written:“ Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.”

But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

But you shall set boundaries for the people all around, saying,‘ Beware that you do not go up on the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall certainly be put to death.No hand shall touch him, but he shall certainly be stoned or shot through; whether animal or person, the violator shall not live.’ When the ram’s horn sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.”So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people, and they washed their garments.He also said to the people,“ Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.”So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud over the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the entire mountain quaked violently.When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him with thunder.

Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house— whose house we are, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the boast of our hope.

And all the people were watching and hearing the thunder and the lightning flashes, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it all, they trembled and stood at a distance.Then they said to Moses,“ Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but do not have God speak to us, or we will die!”

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written:“ But the righteous one will live by faith.”For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

But the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one offense, resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, resulting in justification.For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.So then, as through one offense the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one act of righteousness the result was justification of life to all mankind.For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I bring near My righteousness, it is not far off; And My salvation will not delay. And I will grant salvation in Zion, And My glory for Israel.

For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.For Moses writes of the righteousness that is based on the Law, that the person who performs them will live by them.But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows:“ Do not say in your heart,‘ Who will go up into heaven?’( that is, to bring Christ down),or‘ Who will descend into the abyss?’( that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”But what does it say?“ The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”— that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace.For we, through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Simon Peter, a bond servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.But if the ministry of death, engraved in letters on stones, came with glory so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will live securely; And this is His name by which He will be called,‘ The Lord Our Righteousness.’
