5. 7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as
loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss
in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for
whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish
so that I may gain Christ, 9 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, 10 that I may know Him and the power of His
resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to
His death; 11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the
dead.

18. 12 Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our
speech, 13 and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face
so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was
fading away. 14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day
at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted,
because it is removed in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is
read, a veil lies over their heart; 16 but whenever a person turns to the
Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled
face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the
Lord, the Spirit.
