1 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves? or do
we need, as some do, recommendatory epistles to you,
or letters of recommendation from you?
2 Ye are our
epistle, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by all
men:
3 being manifest that ye are the epistle of Christ,
note through our ministration, written not with ink, but
by the Spirit of the living God; not on tables note of stone,
-- --
but on note tables of the heart of flesh.
4 And such confidence
have we through Christ towards God:
5 not that
we note can of ourselves reckon upon any thing as from
ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.
6 Who hath
also note fitted us to be ministers of the new note covenant,
not note of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter
killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
7 Now if the ministration of death which was in note writing,
and engraven on stones, was so glorious that the
children of Israel could not look stedfastly on the face
of Moses, because of the note lustre of his countenance,
which was to be taken away:
8 note shall not the ministration
of the Spirit be more glorious?
9 For if the ministration
of condemnation was note so glorious, much more doth
the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory:
10 since
what was then made glorious was not in note comparison
glorious, because of the glory that surpasseth it.
11 For if
that, which was to be taken away, came with glory, much
more that which abideth is note glorious.
12 Having therefore such hope, we use much freedom
of speech:
13 and do not as Moses, who put a veil upon
his face, intimating that the children of Israel could not
look note to the end of that which was to be abolished;
but their minds were note blinded:
14 for unto this day the
same veil remaineth unremoved in the reading of the
old testament, which veil is taken away in Christ.
15 But
to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their
heart.
16 Though when note it turneth unto the Lord, the
veil is taken off:
17 now the Lord is note that Spirit; and
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But
we all with unveiled face beholding, as in a glass, the
glory of the Lord, are transformed according to the same
image from glory to glory, as proceeding from the note Spirit
of the Lord.
