YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Are
we beginning
to commend
ourselves again?
Or
do
we need, like
some people
, letters of recommendation to
you or from you?
Do
we begin
again
to recommend
ourselves ,
except
we need, as
some, letters of recommendation unto
you ,
or from you?
You
yourselves
are
our letter, inscribed
on
our hearts, known and read by everyone.
our letter ye
are
, having
been
written
in
our hearts, known and read by all
men,
It
is
clear
that you
are a letter from
Christ,
the
result
of our
ministry
, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on
tablets of stone but on
tablets of human
hearts.
manifested
that ye
are a letter of Christ
ministered
by
us
, written not with ink ,
but with the Spirit of the living God, not in
the
tablets of stone ,
but in
fleshy
tablets of the
heart,
Such confidence
before
God
is
ours
through Christ .
and
such trust
we
have
through the
Christ toward
God,
Not that we are competent
in
ourselves to claim
that
anything comes
from
us
, but our competence
comes
from
God .
not that we are sufficient
of
ourselves to think
anything, as
of
ourselves,
but our sufficiency
`is'
of
God ,
And
He
has
qualified
us as
ministers
of a new covenant, not of the
letter but of the
Spirit; for the letter kills
, but
the Spirit gives
life
.
who
also
made
us sufficient
`to
be'
ministrants
of a new covenant, not of letter ,
but of spirit; for the letter doth
kill
, and
the spirit doth
make
alive
.
Now
if the ministry
of death, which
was
engraved
in letters on
stone
, came with
such
glory that the Israelites
could
not gaze
at
the face of Moses because of its
fleeting
glory,
and
if the ministration
of the
death, in letters, engraved
in
stones,
came in
glory ,
so
that the sons
of
Israel
were
not able
to
look
stedfastly
to
the face of Moses ,
because of the
glory of
his
face
--
which
was
being
made
useless
,
will
not
the ministry
of the Spirit be even
more glorious
?
how
shall
the ministration
of the Spirit not
be more in
glory
?
For if the ministry
of condemnation was
glorious
, how
much more glorious
is
the ministry
of righteousness !
for if the ministration
of the
condemnation `is'
glory
, much more doth
the ministration
of the
righteousness abound
in
glory;
Indeed
, what
was
once
glorious has
no
glory
now
in comparison
to
the glory that
surpasses
it.
for
also
even
that
which
hath
been
glorious
, hath
not
been
glorious --
in this
respect,
because
of
the superior
glory ;
For if what
was
fading
away
came
with
glory, how
much greater
is
the
glory
of
that which endures!
for if that
which
is
being
made
useless
`is'
through
glory, much more
that which is
remaining
`is'
in
glory.
Therefore
, since
we
have
such a
hope, we are
very
bold.
Having
, then,
such hope, we use
much
freedom
of
speech,
We
are not like
Moses, who would
put
a veil
over
his face to
keep
the Israelites
from
gazing
at
the end of what
was
fading
away.
and
`
are '
not as
Moses, who was
putting
a vail
upon
his own
face ,
for
the sons
of
Israel
not
stedfastly
to
look
to
the end of that
which
is
being
made
useless,
But their minds were closed.
For to
this day the same veil
remains
at the reading of the old covenant .
It
has
not
been
lifted,
because
only
in Christ can
it
be
removed.
but their minds were hardened,
for unto
this day the same vail
at the reading of the Old Covenant doth
remain
unwithdrawn
--
which
in Christ is
being
made
useless
--
And
even
to this
day when Moses is read, a veil
covers
their hearts.
but
till
to -
day ,
when Moses is read, a vail
upon
their heart
doth
lie,
But
whenever anyone
turns
to
the Lord, the veil
is taken away.
and
whenever they
may
turn
unto
the Lord, the vail
is taken away.
Now
the Lord is the Spirit ,
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
And
the Lord is the Spirit ;
and where the Spirit of the Lord `
is '
, there `
is '
liberty;
And we, who
with unveiled
faces
all
reflect
the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into
His
image
with
intensifying
glory
, which
comes
from the
Lord
, who
is
the Spirit.
and we all
, with unvailed
face,
the glory of the Lord beholding
in
a
mirror
, to
the
same
image
are being transformed, from glory
to
glory
, even
as
by
the Spirit of
the
Lord
.
