Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Do we begin again to recommend
ourselves ,
except
we
need, as some, letters
of recommendation
unto
you, or from you?
Do we begin again to commend
ourselves ?
or
need we
, as some others
, epistles
of commendation
to
you, or letters
of
commendation
from you?
our
letter
ye are ,
having
been
written in our hearts, known and read by
all men ,
Ye are our
epistle
written in our hearts, known and read of
all men :
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 ,
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 .
and such trust we
have through the
Christ toward
God ,
And such trust have we
through Christ to
God -ward:
not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything,
as of ourselves ,
but our sufficiency `
is '
of God ,
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any
thing
as of ourselves ;
but our sufficiency is of God ;
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
.
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
.
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,
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:
how shall the ministration of the Spirit not
be more
in
glory
?
How shall not
the ministration of the spirit be rather
glorious
?
for if the ministration of the
condemnation `is'
glory, much more doth the ministration of the
righteousness abound
in glory ;
For if the ministration of condemnation be
glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed
in glory .
for also
even that which hath
been
glorious,
hath
not
been
glorious --
in this respect, because
of the superior
glory ;
For even that which was
made
glorious had
no
glory
in this respect, by
reason
of the glory that
excelleth.
for if that which is being
made
useless
`is'
through
glory
, much more that which is
remaining
`
is '
in
glory
.
For if that which is done
away
was
glorious
, much more that which remaineth
is glorious
.
Having,
then ,
such hope, we use much
freedom
of speech ,
Seeing
then that
we
have
such hope, we use great
plainness
of speech :
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,
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:
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
--
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 till
to-
day, when Moses is read, a
vail upon their heart doth
lie,
But even
unto
this
day, when Moses is read, the
vail is
upon their heart .
and
whenever
they
may
turn unto
the Lord, the vail is
taken away.
Nevertheless
when
it
shall
turn to
the Lord, the vail shall
be
taken away.
And
the Lord is the
Spirit ;
and where the Spirit of the Lord `
is '
, there `
is '
liberty ;
Now
the Lord is that
Spirit :
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty .
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.
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.
