3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as
some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of
commendation from you?
3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read
of all men:
3:3 [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 fleshly tables of the heart.
3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any
thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
3:6 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.
3:7 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:
3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather
glorious?
3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much
more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in
this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
3:11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more
that which remaineth [is] glorious.
3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great
plainness of speech:
3:13 And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face, that
the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of
that which is abolished:
3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old
testament; which [veil] is done away in Christ.
3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is
upon their heart.
3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil
shall be taken away.
3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the
Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
3:18 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.
