Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 3:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:12-14

Biblical Context

With hope, we speak plainly; the veil Moses wore represents the old covenant's opacity, which remains when the old testament is read without Christ. The veil is removed when the Christ within is awakened.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your reading of scripture is a reflection of your inner condition. The 'hope' Paul speaks of is not future belief, but a now-claimed consciousness: you are the I AM, the light behind every form. The veil Moses wore is the habitual sense of lack and separation—the old covenant that says 'outside you' truth comes. Yet the veil is only in the mind; when you awaken to the Christ within, the end of that old order appears as a present fact. As you hold this inner witness, your speech becomes plain—not to win approval, but because you are no longer playing the part of a divided self. The veil is lifted by awareness that the same one who reads is the one who is read; Christ within is the experiential end of the old testament. Your mind shifts from constricting belief to expansive consciousness, and liberation is a natural by-product of that shift.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I am the I AM, unveiled; the Christ within is my present certainty.' Then act as if this awareness is already true for the next minute.
