2 Cor. 3:17, “16 Nevertheless when one turns (converts or turns around due to ‘afterthought’) to the Lord, the veil (self-imposed law) is taken away (περιαιρέω periaireō). 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (freedom from the bondage of all self-imposed law).”
περιαιρέω periaireō: “to take away that which surrounds or envelopes a thing”.
The Spirit is there by grace and revelation. Not self-imposed law. The Spirit gives great assurance and hope. Self-imposed law does not.
