2 Corinthians 3

Do we begin again to ^acommend ourselves? or need we, as ^bsome others, ^cepistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? ^2dYe are our epistle written in our hearts, ^eknown and read of all men: ³forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ^fministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of ^gthe living God; not in ^htables of stone, but ⁱin fleshy tables of the heart. ⁴And such ^jtrust have we through Christ to God-ward: ^5knot that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but ^lour sufficiency is of God; ⁶who also hath made us able ^dmministers of ⁿthe new ⁿⁿtestament; not of ^othe letter, but of the spirit: for ^pthe letter killeth, but ^qthe spirit giveth life. ⁷But if ^pthe ministration of death, ^hwritten and engraven in stones, ^rwas glorious, ^rso that the children of Israel could not ^sstedfastly behold the face of Moses for ^tthe glory of his countenance; which glory was to be ^udone away: ⁸how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? ⁹For if ^vthe ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth ^wthe ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. ¹⁰For even that which was made glorious ^xhad no glory ^yin this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. ¹¹For if that which is ^udone away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. ¹²Seeing then that we have such hope, ^zwe use great plainness of speech: ¹³and not as Moses, ^rwhich put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not ^sstedfastly look to ^athe end of that which is ^uabolished: ¹⁴but ^btheir ^cminds were ^dblinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away ^ein the reading of ^fthe old testament; which vail is ^udone away in Christ. ¹⁵But even unto this day, ^ewhen Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. ¹⁶Nevertheless ^gwhen it shall turn to the Lord, ^hthe vail shall be taken away. ¹⁷Now ⁱthe Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, ^jthere is liberty. ¹⁸But we all, with open face ^kbeholding as in a glass ^lthe glory of the Lord, ^mare ⁿchanged into the same image ^ofrom glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
