Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others,] epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you? |
2
|
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: |
3
|
[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. |
4
|
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: |
5
|
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God; |
6
|
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. |
7
|
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: |
8
|
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? |
9
|
For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. |
10
|
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. |
11
|
For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious. |
12
|
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: |
13
|
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: |
14
|
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. |
15
|
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. |
16
|
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. |
17
|
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is,] there [is] liberty. |
18
|
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. |
