For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. |
For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. |
For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. |
|
If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! |
For if the service that condemns [the ministration of doom] had glory, how infinitely more abounding in splendor and glory must be the service that makes righteous [the ministry that produces and fosters righteous living and right standing with God]! |
For in view of the fact that the ministration of condemnation was glorious, by so much more will the ministration of righteousness superabound in the sphere of the glorious. |
|
If to administer a system which is to end in condemning men had its glory, how infinitely more splendid it is to administer a system which ends in making men right with God! |
For if the service connected with condemnation had such splendor, the service resulting in right standing with God will surely far surpass it in splendor. |

- Ritualism and Hypocrisy; Lords of Darkness - Neil Girrard The ruler of false religion’s first (but by no means the last) great victory in the church age (that is, after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost) was convincing men they needed to hold regular meetings and practice rituals in the name of Christ.
