2 Corinthians 3:1: Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Corinthians 3:2: Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
2 Corinthians 3:3: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
2 Corinthians 3:4: And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
2 Corinthians 3:5: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
2 Corinthians 3:6: Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter k**eth, but the spirit giveth life.
2 Corinthians 3:7: But if the ministration of d**h, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
2 Corinthians 3:8: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
2 Corinthians 3:9: For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2 Corinthians 3:10: For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
2 Corinthians 3:11: For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
2 Corinthians 3:12: Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2 Corinthians 3:13: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2 Corinthians 3:14: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:15: But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2 Corinthians 3:16: Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:17: Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a gla** the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
