‏ 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.
