Do
we begin
again to commend ourselves? or need
we, as some others
, epistles
of commendation to you ,
or letters
of
commendation
from you?
Are
we beginning
again to commend ourselves? Or do
we need
, as do
some, letters
of commendation to you or from you?
Ye
are our epistle
written in our hearts, known and read of
all men :
You
are our letter,
written in our hearts, known and read by
all men ;
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
.
being
revealed
that
you
are a
letter
of Christ ,
ministered 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
.
And
such trust
have
we through Christ to
God -ward:
Such confidence
we have
through Christ toward
God ;
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think
any
thing
as of
ourselves; but our sufficiency is of
God;
not that we are sufficient of ourselves ,
to account
anything
as from
ourselves; but our sufficiency is from
God;
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.
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.
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:
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:
How
shall
not
the
ministration
of the spirit be rather
glorious
?
won't
service
of the Spirit be with
much
more
glory
?
For if the ministration
of condemnation be
glory, much
more
doth
the ministration
of righteousness exceed
in glory.
For if the service
of condemnation has
glory, the service
of righteousness exceeds
much
more
in glory.
For even
that which was
made glorious had
no
glory
in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth
.
For most
assuredly
that which has
been
made glorious has
not
been
made
glorious
in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses
.
For if that which is
done
away was glorious
, much more that which remaineth
is glorious
.
For if that which passes
away was with
glory
, much more that which remains
is in
glory
.
Seeing
then
that
we
have
such hope, we use great plainness
of speech :
Having
therefore
such a
hope, we use great boldness
of speech ,
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:
and not as Moses, who
put a veil
on
his face, that the children of Israel wouldn't
look steadfastly
on
the end of that which was
passing
away.
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.
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
.
But even
unto
this day, when Moses is read, the
vail
is
upon
their heart.
But to
this day, when Moses is read, a
veil
lies
on
their heart.
Nevertheless
when
it
shall
turn
to the Lord, the vail
shall
be
taken away.
But
whenever
one
turns
to the Lord, the veil
is
taken away.
Now the Lord is that
Spirit :
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Now the Lord is the
Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
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.
But we all, with unveiled
face beholding as in a mirror
the glory of the Lord, are transformed
into the same image from glory to glory, even as from
the Lord ,
the
Spirit
.
