For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. |
For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. |
For if that which fades way was with (through) glory, much more that which remains is in glory. |
And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! |
For if that which was but passing and fading away came with splendor, how much more must that which remains and is permanent abide in glory and splendor! |
For, since that which is passing away was with glory, by so much more that which remains is within the sphere of glory. |
we do well to remember that it is eclipsed because the present and permanent is so much more glorious than the old and transient. |
For if what passed away was introduced with splendor, with how much greater splendor must what is permanent be attended? |
