2COR 3:1
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? |
|
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:2
2 Corinthians 3:2
|
|
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known
and read of all men: |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 3:3
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. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 3:4
2 Corinthians 3:4
|
|
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 3:5
2 Corinthians 3:5
|
|
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think
any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 3:6
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 killeth, but
the spirit giveth life. |
| |
|
|
|
2COR 3:7
2 Corinthians 3:7
|
|
But if the ministration of death, 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: |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:8
2 Corinthians 3:8
|
|
How shall not the ministration of the spirit
be rather glorious? |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:9
2 Corinthians 3:9
|
|
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory,
much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:10
2 Corinthians 3:10
|
|
For even that which was made glorious had no
glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:11
2 Corinthians 3:11
|
|
For if that which is done away was glorious,
much more that which remaineth is glorious. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:12
2 Corinthians 3:12
|
|
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great
plainness of speech: |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:13
2 Corinthians 3:13
|
|
And not as Moses, which put a veil over his
face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that
which is abolished: |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:14
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. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:15
2 Corinthians 3:15
|
|
But even unto this day, when Moses is read,
the vail is upon their heart. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:16
2 Corinthians 3:16
|
|
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord,
the vail shall be taken away. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:17
2 Corinthians 3:17
|
|
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
|
|
|
|
2COR 3:18
2 Corinthians 3:18
|
|
But we all, with open face beholding as in a
glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
even as by the Spirit of the Lord. |
