SIL Translator’s Notes on 2 Corinthians 3:11

3:11a For if what was fading away came with glory,

For/And if the thing/ministry that is/was fading began with glory/splendor,
-or-
Also, the work of serving ⌊in/under the old covenant⌋ was ⌊temporary like the glory on Moses’ face⌋ fading even though glory/radiance accompanied it.

3:11b how much greater is the glory of that which endures!

in comparison, the ministry that will remain/last has much greater glory/splendor.
-or-
But, the work of serving ⌊in/under the new covenant⌋ will continue and has the greatest glory/radiance ⌊by far⌋.
