[1] Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you? [2] You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men, [3] being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh. [4] Such confidence we have through Christ toward God, [5] not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God, [6] who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. [7] But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away, [8] won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory? [9] For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. [10] For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses. [11] For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. [12] Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, [13] and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away. [14] But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away. [15] But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. [16] But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. [17] Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. [18] But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
King James Version
[1] Do we beginG756(PresMidInd) againG3825 to commendG4921(PresActInf) ourselves?G1438 orG1508 need we,G5535(PresActInd) asG5613 someG5100 [others], epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 you,G5209 orG2228 [letters] of commendationG4956 fromG1537 you?G5216 [2] YeG5210 areG2075(PresInd) ourG2257 epistleG1992 writtenG1449(PerfPasPtc) inG1722 ourG2257 hearts,G2588 knownG1097(PresPasPtc) andG2532 readG314(PresPasPtc) ofG5259 allG3956 men:G444 [3] [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declaredG5319(PresPasPtc) toG3754 beG2075(PresInd) the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247(AorPasPtc) byG5259 us,G2257 writtenG1449(PerfPasPtc) notG3756 with ink,G3188 butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198(PresActPtc) God;G2316 notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stone,G3035 butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heart.G2588 [4] AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192(PresActInd) throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-ward:G2316 [5] NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070(PresInd) sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049(AorMidDepInf) any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselves;G1438 butG235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 [is] ofG1537 God;G2316 [6] WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427(AorActInd) ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testament;G1242 notG3756 of the letter,G1121 butG235 of the spirit:G4151 forG1063 the letterG1121 killeth,G615(PresActInd) butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth life.G2227(PresActInd) [7] ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of death,G2288 writtenG1722 [and] engravenG1795(PerfPasPtc) inG1722 stones,G3037 wasG1096(AorPasDepInd) glorious,G1722 soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410(PresMidPasDepInf) notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816(AorActInf) the faceG1519 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenance;G4383 whichG3588 [glory] was to be done away:G2673(PresPasPtc) [8] HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071(FutInd) ratherG3123 glorious?G1391 [9] ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 [be] glory,G1391 muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052(PresActInd) inG1722 glory.G1391 [10] ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392(PerfPasInd) had noG3761 gloryG1392(PerfPasPtc) inG1722 thisG5129 respect,G3313 by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excelleth.G5235(PresActPtc) [11] ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673(PresPasPtc) [was] glorious,G1223 muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306(PresActPtc) [is] glorious.G1722 [12] Seeing thenG3767 that we haveG2192(PresActPtc) suchG5108 hope,G1680 we useG5530(PresMidPasDepInd) greatG4183 plainness of speech:G3954 [13] AndG2532 notG3756 asG2509 Moses,G3475 [which] putG5087(ImpfActInd) a vailG2571 overG1909 hisG1438 face,G4383 thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG816 notG3361 stedfastly lookG816(AorActInf) toG1519 the endG5056 of that which is abolished:G2673(PresPasPtc) [14] ButG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were blinded:G4456(AorPasInd) forG1063 untilG891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306(PresActInd) the sameG846 vailG2571 untakenG3361 awayG343(PresPasPtc) inG1909 the readingG320 of the oldG3820 testament;G1242 whichG3748 [vail] is done awayG2673(PresPasInd) inG1722 Christ.G5547 [15] ButG235 evenG2193 unto this day,G4594 whenG2259 MosesG3475 is read,G314(PresPasInd) the vailG2571 is uponG2749(PresMidPasDepInd) theirG846 heart.G2588 [16] NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994(AorActSubj) toG4314 the Lord,G2962 the vailG2571 shall be taken away.G4014(PresPasInd) [17] NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076(PresInd) that Spirit:G4151 andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 [is], thereG1563 [is] liberty.G1657 [18] ButG1161 weG2249 all,G3956 with openG343(PerfPasPtc) faceG4383 beholding as in a glassG2734(PresMidPtc) the gloryG1391 of the Lord,G2962 are changedG3339(PresPasInd) into the sameG846 imageG1504 fromG575 gloryG1391 toG1519 glory,G1391 [even] asG2509 byG575 the SpiritG4151 of the Lord.G2962
