2 Corinthians 3:3-9

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.
