3Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?G756G3825G4921G1438G1508G5535G5613G5100G1992G4956G4314G5209G2228G4956G1537G52162You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;G5210G2075G2257G1992G1449G1722G2257G2588G1097G2532G314G5259G3956G4443being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.G5319G3754G2075G1992G5547G1247G5259G2257G1449G3756G3188G235G4151G2198G2316G3756G1722G4109G3035G235G1722G4560G4109G25884And such confidence we have through Christ toward God.G1161G5108G4006G2192G1223G5547G4314G23165Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as [coming] from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,G3756G3754G2070G2425G575G1438G3049G5100G5613G1537G1438G235G2257G2426G1537G23166who also made us adequate [as] servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.G3739G2532G2427G2248G2427G1249G2537G1242G3756G1121G235G4151G1063G1121G615G1161G4151G22277But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading [as] it was,G1161G1487G1248G2288G1722G1121G1795G1722G3037G1096G1722G1391G5620G5207G2474G1410G3361G816G1519G4383G3475G1223G1391G846G4383G3588G26738how shall the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?G4459G1248G3780G1248G4151G2071G3123G1722G13919For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.G1063G1487G1248G2633G1391G4183G3123G1248G1343G4052G1722G139110For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory on account of the glory that surpasses [it.]G1063G2532G1392G3761G1392G1722G5129G3313G1752G1391G523511For if that which fades away [was] with glory, much more that which remains [is] in glory.G1063G1487G2673G1223G1391G4183G3123G3306G1722G139112Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness in [our] speech,G3767G2192G5108G1680G5530G4183G395413and [are] not as Moses, [who] used to put a veil over his face that the sons of Israel might not look intently at the end of what was fading away.G2532G3756G2509G3475G5087G2571G1909G1438G4383G4314G5207G2474G816G3361G816G1519G5056G267314But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.G235G846G3540G4456G1063G891G4594G3306G846G2571G3361G343G1909G320G3820G1242G3748G2673G1722G554715But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;G235G2193G4594G2259G3475G314G2571G2749G1909G846G258816but whenever a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.G1161G2259G302G1994G4314G2962G2571G401417Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty.G1161G2962G2076G4151G1161G3757G4151G2962G1563G165718But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.G1161G2249G3956G343G4383G2734G1391G2962G3339G846G1504G575G1391G1519G1391G2509G575G4151G2962
