What is wrong with this verse?
2 Cor. 3:14;
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in reading the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

Re: Old or new
The vail, untaken away. Many people to this very day believe the ten commandments including the sabbath are still in force.
Galatians 4: 16, Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Re: Old or new
How does that make the verse "wrong"?
Your post made me think of the new "law of liberty"...freedom from the Mosaic Law.
"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." (Gal 5:1)
That yoke of bondage included WAY more than just the ten commandments.
"So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty." (James 2:12)
We can see that though the ten commandments aren't "enforced", they are still pertinent to the Spiritual result of loving our brothers as ourselves. (Excepting the Sabbath observance)

What is wrong about this verse is the inclusion of the word "vail" in the last phrase ' which is done away in Christ'
For the word "vail' is not in the Greek of the original .
Therefore what this verse is actually saying is that " The old Testament (old covenant) is done away with in Christ"

Re: Old or new
Take it up with the Authorized Edition 1611, and Finnis J Dake GPFM Lesson 32 at the end of the first paragraph.
I can not read Greek but I trust Dake.
