3:9a For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious,

And if the ministry ⌊of the written laws⌋ that condemns people had glory/splendor,
-or-
Also, ⌊the old covenant⌋ condemned those who broke it. Yet glory/radiance accompanied the work of serving in/under it.

3:9b how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!

surely the new ministry that causes its people to be righteous has even more glory!
-or-
But the ministry that produces righteousness abounds in much more glory!
