Do we begin [0756] [5731] again [3825] to commend [4921] [5721] ourselves [1438]? or need we [5535] [5719], [1508] as [5613] some [5100] [others], epistles [1992] of commendation [4956] to [4314] you [5209], or [2228] [letters] of commendation [4956] from [1537] you [5216]?

2

Ye [5210] are [2075] [5748] our [2257] epistle [1992] written [1449] [5772] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588], known [1097] [5746] and [2532] read [0314] [5746] of [5259] all [3956] men [0444]:

3

[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared [5319] [5746] to [3754] be [2075] [5748] the epistle [1992] of Christ [5547] ministered [1247] [5685] by [5259] us [2257], written [1449] [5772] not [3756] with ink [3188], but [0235] with the Spirit [4151] of the living [2198] [5723] God [2316]; not [3756] in [1722] tables [4109] of stone [3035], but [0235] in [1722] fleshy [4560] tables [4109] of the heart [2588].

4

And [1161] such [5108] trust [4006] have we [2192] [5719] through [1223] Christ [5547] to [4314] God-ward [2316]:

5

Not [3756] that [3754] we are [2070] [5748] sufficient [2425] of [0575] ourselves [1438] to think [3049] [5664] any thing [5100] as [5613] of [1537] ourselves [1438]; but [0235] our [2257] sufficiency [2426] [is] of [1537] God [2316];

6

Who [3739] also [2532] hath made [2427] [0000] us [2248] able [2427] [5656] ministers [1249] of the new [2537] testament [1242]; not [3756] of the letter [1121], but [0235] of the spirit [4151]: for [1063] the letter [1121] killeth [0615] [5719], but [1161] the spirit [4151] giveth life [2227] [5719].

7

But [1161] if [1487] the ministration [1248] of death [2288], written [1722] [1121] [and] engraven [1795] [5772] in [1722] stones [3037], was [1096] [5675] glorious [1722] [1391], so [5620] that the children [5207] of Israel [2474] could [1410] [5738] not [3361] stedfastly behold [0816] [5658] the face [1519] [4383] of Moses [3475] for [1223] the glory [1391] of his [0846] countenance [4383]; which [3588] [glory] was to be done away [2673] [5746]:

8

How [4459] shall [1248] [0000] not [3780] the ministration [1248] of the spirit [4151] be [2071] [5704] rather [3123] [1722] glorious [1391]?

9

For [1063] if [1487] the ministration [1248] of condemnation [2633] [be] glory [1391], much [4183] more [3123] doth the ministration [1248] of righteousness [1343] exceed [4052] [5719] in [1722] glory [1391].

10

For [1063] even [2532] that which was made glorious [1392] [5769] had no [3761] glory [1392] [5772] in [1722] this [5129] respect [3313], by reason [1752] of the glory [1391] that excelleth [5235] [5723].

11

For [1063] if [1487] that which is done away [2673] [5746] [was] glorious [1223] [1391], much [4183] more [3123] that which remaineth [3306] [5723] [is] glorious [1722] [1391].

12

Seeing then [3767] that we have [2192] [5723] such [5108] hope [1680], we use [5530] [5736] great [4183] plainness of speech [3954]:

13

And [2532] not [3756] as [2509] Moses [3475], [which] put [5087] [5707] a vail [2571] over [1909] his [1438] face [4383], that [4314] the children [5207] of Israel [2474] could [0816] [0000] not [3361] stedfastly look [0816] [5658] to [1519] the end [5056] of that which is abolished [2673] [5746]:

14

But [0235] their [0846] minds [3540] were blinded [4456] [5681]: for [1063] until [0891] this day [4594] remaineth [3306] [5719] the same [0846] vail [2571] untaken [3361] away [0343] [5746] in [1909] the reading [0320] of the old [3820] testament [1242]; which [3748] [vail] is done away [2673] [5743] in [1722] Christ [5547].

15

But [0235] even [2193] unto this day [4594], when [2259] Moses [3475] is read [0314] [5743], the vail [2571] is upon [2749] [5736] [1909] their [0846] heart [2588].

16

Nevertheless [1161] when [2259] it [0302] shall turn [1994] [5661] to [4314] the Lord [2962], the vail [2571] shall be taken away [4014] [5743].

17

Now [1161] the Lord [2962] is [2076] [5748] that Spirit [4151]: and [1161] where [3757] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962] [is], there [1563] [is] liberty [1657].

18

But [1161] we [2249] all [3956], with open [0343] [5772] face [4383] beholding as in a glass [2734] [5734] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962], are changed [3339] [5743] into the same [0846] image [1504] from [0575] glory [1391] to [1519] glory [1391], [even] as [2509] by [0575] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962].
