Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 3:11

11 For if that which was done away, was glorious much more that which remaineth is glorious .

The Apostle, by another Argument, proveth the Ministration of the Gospel to be much more glorious than the Ministration of the Law, because it is more durable and abiding. The strength of the Argument dependeth upon this Principle, That any durable good is more excellent and glorious, than that which is but transitory, and for a time. The Ministration of the Law is done away; the Law, contained in Ordinances, is it self done away; and therefore the Ministration of it must needs cease. There are now no Priests and Levites, no worldly Sanctuary, nor any Ministrations in it, or relating to it. But our Saviour hath told us, That the Gospel shall be preached to the End of the World; so as that Ministration must (according to all Principles of Reason) be more glorious, as that which is eternal is more glorious than that which is fluid and vanishing.
