For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. |
For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. |
For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory on account of the glory that surpasses it. |
|
For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. |
Indeed, in view of this fact, what once had splendor [the glory of the Law in the face of Moses] has come to have no splendor at all, because of the overwhelming glory that exceeds and excels it [the glory of the Gospel in the face of Jesus Christ]. |
For even that which has been made glorious [the ministration of death] has not [really] been made glorious in this respect, namely, on account of the glory [of the ministration of righteousness], which glory superabounds. |
|
And while it is true that the former glory has been eclipsed by the latter, |
For on account of its surpassing splendor, what was once so splendid has now no splendor at all. |
