2 Corinthians 3:12-14 NWT
12 Therefore, as we have such a hope, we are using great freeness of speech, 13 and not doing as when Moses would put a veil upon his face, that the sons of Israel might not gaze intently at the end of that which was to be done away with. [Ex. 34:35] 14 But their mental powers were dulled. For to this present day the same veil remains unlifted at the reading of the old covenant, because it is done away with by means of Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:12-14 LITV
(12) Then having such hope, we use much boldness. (13) And not as "Moses, who put a veil over his face," for the sons of Israel not to gaze at the end of the thing being done away. [Ex. 34:35] (14) But their thoughts were hardened, for until the present time the same veil remains on the reading of the Old Covenant, not being unveiled, that it is being done away in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:12-14 ALT
(12) Having therefore such a hope [or, confident expectation], we use great boldness in [our] speech, (13) and [are] not like Moses, [who] was putting a veil on his own face, so that the sons [and daughters] of Israel [could] not look intently at the end of the [glory which was] passing away. [Ex. 34:35] (14) _But_ their minds were hardened [fig., were made stubborn], for until this day the same veil remains not having been unveiled [fig., remains unlifted] during the reading aloud of the Old Covenant, which in Christ passes away [fig., is removed].

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
