2 Corinthians 3

1Do we beginG757 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselves? or do we needG5535, as some, commendatory lettersG1992 to you, or [commendatory] from you? 2Ye areG1510 our letterG1992, written in our heartsG2588, knownG1097 and readG314 of all menG444, 3beingG1510 manifestedG5319 to beG1510 Christ's epistle ministeredG1247 by us, written, not with inkG3188, but [the] SpiritG4151 of [the] livingG2198 1GodG2316; not on stoneG3035 tables, but on fleshy tables of [the] heartG2588. 4And suchG5108 confidenceG4006 have we through the ChristG5547 towards 2GodG2316: 5not that we areG1510 competent of ourselves to think anythingG5100 as of ourselves, but our competency [isG1510] of 3GodG2316; 6who has alsoG2532 made us competent, [as] ministers of [the] newG2537 covenantG1242; not of letterG1121, but of spiritG4151. For the letterG1121 killsG615, but the SpiritG4151 quickens. 7(But if the ministryG1248 of deathG2288, in lettersG1121, graven in stonesG3037, began with gloryG1391, so that the children of IsraelG2474 could not fix their eyes on the faceG4383 of MosesG3475, on accountG1223 of the gloryG1391 of his faceG4383, [a gloryG1391] which is annulled; 8howG4459 shall not ratherG3123 the ministryG1248 of the SpiritG4151 subsist in gloryG1391? 9For if the ministryG1248 of condemnationG2633 [be] gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 the ministryG1248 of righteousnessG1343 abounds in gloryG1391. 10For alsoG2532 that [which was] glorifiedG1392 is not glorifiedG1392 in this respect, on account of the surpassing gloryG1391. 11For if that annulled [was introduced] with gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 that which abidesG3306 [subsists] in gloryG1391. 12Having thereforeG3767 suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530 muchG4183 boldnessG3954: 13and not according as MosesG3475 putG5087 a veilG2571 on his ownG1438 faceG4383, so that the children of IsraelG2474 should not fix their eyes on the endG5056 of that annulled. 14But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this dayG2250 the sameG846 veilG2571 remainsG3306 in readingG320 the oldG3820 covenantG1242, unremoved, which in ChristG5547 is annulled. 15But unto this dayG4594, when MosesG3475 is readG314, the veilG2571 liesG2749 upon their heartG2588. 16But when it shall turnG1994 to [the] LordG2962, the veilG2571 is taken awayG4014.) 17NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG1510 the SpiritG4151, but whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of [the] LordG2962 [isG1510, there isG1510] liberty. 18But we all, looking on the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, with unveiled faceG4383, are transformedG3339 according to the sameG846 imageG1504 from gloryG1391 to gloryG1391, even as by [the] LordG2962 [the] SpiritG4151.
