Chap. III.
Lest the Iudaical false Apostles should obiect againe that he praiseth him self, he saith
that the Corinthians are his commendation: and they in their hartes being
iustified by his ministerie, he thereof inferreth that the ministers of the nevv
Testament are farre more glorious then they of the old, 12 and our people more
lightened then theirs.
1 Begin vve againe to commend our
selues? or do vve neede (as certaine)
epistles of commendation to you, or
from you?
2 Our epistle you are,
vvritten in our hartes, vvhich is
knovven and read of al men:
3 being
manifested that you are09Q1165 the epistle
of Christ, ministred by vs, & vvritten
not vvith inke, but vvith the Spirit
-- --
of the liuing God: not in tables of stone, but in the tables
carnall of the hart. note
4 And such confidence vve haue by
Christ to God:
5 not that vve be sufficient to thinke any
thing09Q1166 of our selues, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is
of God.
6 Vvho also hath made vs meete ministers of the
nevv testament: not in the letter, but in the Spirit. For09Q1167 the
letter killeth: but the Spirit quickeneth.
7 And if the ministration
of death with letters figured in stones, vvas in glorie,
so that the children of Israël could not behold the face of
Moyses, for the glorie of his counten&abar;ce, that is made voide:
8 how shal not the ministration of the Spirit be more in glorie?
9 For if the ministrati&obar; of damnation be in glorie:09Q1168 much
more the ministerie of iustice aboundeth in glorie. &cross4;
10 For
neither vvas it glorified, vvhich in this part vvas glorious, by
reas&obar; of the excelling glorie.
11 For if that which is made void,
is by glorie: much more that vvhich abideth, is in glorie.
12 Hauing therfore such hope, vve vse much confidence:
13 and not note as Moyses put a vele vpon his face, that the children
of Israël might not behold his face, vvhich is made
voide,
14 but their senses vvere dulled. For vntil this present
day,09Q1169 the self same vele in the lecture of the old testament remaineth
vnreuealed (because in Christ it is made voide)
15 but
vntil this present day, vvhen Moyses is read, a vele is put vp&obar;
their hart.
16 But vvhen he shal be conuerted to our Lord,
the vele shal be taken avvay.
17 And note our Lord is a Spirit. And
vvhere the Spirit of our Lord is, there is09Q1170 libertie.
18 But vve
al, beholding the glorie of our Lord vvith face reuealed, are
transformed into the same image from glorie vnto glorie, as
of our Lordes Spirit.
