2 Corinthians 3:3-9

3Forasmuch as ye are manifestlyG5319 declaredG3754 to beG1510 the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG1473, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588.

4AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192 throughG1223 ChristG3588G5547 toG4314 God-wardG3588G2316: 5NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG1510 sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049 any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselvesG1438; butG235 ourG1473 sufficiencyG3588G2426 is ofG1537 GodG3588G2316; 6

WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG1473 able ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. 7ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG3588G1248 of deathG3588G2288, writtenG1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1391, so thatG5620 the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG3588G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG3588G1391 of hisG846 countenanceG3588G4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673: 8HowG4459 shallG1510 notG3780 the ministrationG3588G1248 of the spiritG3588G4151 beG1510 ratherG3123 gloriousG1391? 9ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG3588G1248 of condemnationG3588G2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 dothG4052 the ministrationG3588G1248 of righteousnessG3588G1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
