2 Corinthians 3
Are we beginningG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1487 needG3361 weG5535, asG5613 doG5613 someG5100, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209 orG2228 from youG5216?
YeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 epistleG1992, writtenG1449 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, knownG1097 andG2532 readG314 ofG5259 allG3956 menG444;
being madeG3754 manifestG5319 that ye areG2075 an epistleG1992 of ChristG5547, ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 tablesG4109 that are heartsG2588 of fleshG4560.
AndG1161 suchG5108 confidenceG4006 have weG2192 throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-wardG2316:
notG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070 sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438, to accountG3049 anythingG5100 asG5613 from ourselvesG1438; butG235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 is fromG1537 GodG2316;
whoG3739 alsoG2532 madeG2427 usG2248 sufficient as ministersG1249 of a newG2537 covenantG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG1722, writtenG1121, and engravenG1795 onG1722 stonesG3037, cameG1096 withG1722 gloryG1391, so thatG5620 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 lookG816 stedfastly uponG1519 the faceG4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 faceG4383; whichG3588 glory was passing awayG2673:
howG4459 shallG2071 notG3780 ratherG3123 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 withG1722 gloryG1391?
ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 hath gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 dothG4052 the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 verilyG2532 that whichG3588 hath been made gloriousG1392 hathG1392 notG3761 been made gloriousG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reason ofG1752 the gloryG1391 thatG3588 surpassethG5235.
ForG1063 ifG1487 that whichG3588 passeth awayG2673 wasG1223 with gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that whichG3588 remainethG3306 isG1722 in gloryG1391.
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 suchG5108 a hopeG1680, we useG5530 greatG4183 boldness of speechG3954,
andG2532 are notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475, who putG5087 a veilG2571 uponG1909 hisG1438 faceG4383, thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 should notG3361 lookG816 stedfastly onG1519 the endG5056 of that whichG3588 was passing awayG2673:
butG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were hardenedG4456: forG1063 untilG891 this very dayG4594 at the readingG320 of the oldG3820 covenantG1242 the sameG846 veilG2571 remainethG3306, it not beingG1909 revealedG343 to them that itG3739 isG5100 done awayG2673 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ButG235 untoG2193 this dayG4594, whensoeverG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314, a veilG2571 liethG2749 uponG1909 theirG846 heartG2588.
ButG1161 whensoeverG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994 toG4314 the LordG2962, the veilG2571 is taken awayG4014.
NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 the SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657.
ButG1161 weG2249 allG3956, withG4383 unveiledG343 faceG4383 beholding as in a mirrorG2734 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are transformedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 fromG575 gloryG1391 toG1519 gloryG1391, even asG2509 fromG575 the LordG2962 the SpiritG4151.
