2 Corinthians 3

1Are we beginningG757 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselves? or needG5535 we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you? 2Ye areG1510 our epistle, written in our heartsG2588, knownG1097 and readG314 of all menG444; 3beingG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319 that ye areG1510 an epistle of ChristG5547, ministeredG1247 by us, written not with inkG3188, but with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; not in tables of stoneG3035, but in tables that areG1510 heartsG2588 of flesh. 4And suchG5108 confidenceG4006 have we through ChristG5547 to God-ward: 5not that we areG1510 sufficientG2425 of ourselves, to account anythingG5100 as from ourselves; but our sufficiency isG1510 from GodG2316; 6who alsoG2532 made us sufficient as ministers of a newG2537 covenantG1242; not of the letterG1121, but of the spiritG4151: for the letterG1121 killeth, but the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. 7But if the ministration of deathG2288, written, and engraven on stonesG3037, cameG1096 with gloryG1391, so that the children of IsraelG2474 could not lookG816 stedfastly upon the faceG4383 of MosesG3475 for the gloryG1391 of his faceG4383; which gloryG1391 was passing awayG2673: 8howG4459 shall not ratherG3123 the ministration of the spiritG4151 beG1510 with gloryG1391? 9For if the ministration of condemnationG2633 hath gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 doth the ministration of righteousnessG1343 exceed in gloryG1391. 10For verily that which hath been made gloriousG1391 hath not been made gloriousG1391 in this respect, by reason of the gloryG1391 that surpasseth. 11For if that which passeth awayG2673 was with gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remaineth is in gloryG1391.

12Having thereforeG3767 such a hopeG1680, we useG5530 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 of speech, 13andarenot as MosesG3475, whoputG5087 a veilG2571 upon his faceG4383, that the children of IsraelG2474 should not lookG816 stedfastly on the endG5056 of that which was passing awayG2673: 14but their mindsG3540 were hardenedG4456: for until this very dayG2250 at the readingG320 of the oldG3820 covenantG1242 the sameG846 veilG2571 remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done awayG2673 in ChristG5547. 15But unto this dayG4594, whensoever MosesG3475 is readG314, a veilG2571 lieth upon their heartG2588. 16But whensoever it shall turnG1994 to the LordG2962, the veilG2571 is taken awayG4014. 17NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG1510 the SpiritG4151: and whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 isG1510, there isG1510 liberty. 18But we all, with unveiled faceG4383 beholding as in a mirror the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are transformedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 from gloryG1391 to gloryG1391, even as from the LordG2962 the SpiritG4151.
