ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 3 v10

THE SPLENDOR ON MOSES’ FACE. AMBROSIASTER: The law of Moses was not made glorious because of the splendor on his face. That splendor was of no benefit to anyone and did not have the reward of glory. It was rather a hindrance, not through its own fault but through the fault of sinners. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

WHAT ONCE HAD SPLENDOR. CHRYSOSTOM: Paul does not disparage the Old Testament but highly commends it, since comparisons are apt to be made between things which are basically similar in kind. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 7.2.

THE MIDDAY LAMP. THEODORET OF CYR: The light of a lamp shines brightly in the darkness of the night, but at midday it is barely visible and is not even thought of as light. COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 304.

GLORY COMPARED WITH GLORY. JEROME: And this is what the apostle writes in another place: “And yet what was glorified is without glory because of the surpassing glory”; for the justice of the law, to be sure, in comparison with the grace of the gospel would not appear to be justice. “For if that,” he says, “which is done away with is glorious, much more will that be glorious which abides.” AGAINST THE PELAGIANS 1.15.
