2 Corinthians 3:11
Passeth away ( καταργουμενον ). In process of disappearing before the gospel of Christ.Remaineth ( μενον ). The new ministry is permanent. This claim may be recommended to those who clamour for a new religion. Christianity is still alive and is not dying. Note also εν δοξη, in glory, in contrast with δια δοξης, with glory.
Boldness ( παρρησια ). Instrumental case after χρωμεθα. Old word, πανρησισ=παρρησις, telling it all, absolute unreservedness. Surely Paul has kept nothing back here, no mental reservations, in this triumphant claim of superiority.
