2 Corinthians 3:1-13

Do we begin
<756> (5731)
again
<3825>
to commend
<4921> (5721)
ourselves
<1438>_?
or
<1508>
need we
<5535> (5719)_,
as
<5613>
some
<5100>
[others], epistles
<1992>
of commendation
<4956>
to
<4314>
you
<5209>_,
or
<2228>
[letters] of commendation
<4956>
from
<1537>
you
<5216>_?
Ye
<5210>
are
<2075> (5748)
our
<2257>
epistle
<1992>
written
<1449> (5772)
in
<1722>
our
<2257>
hearts
<2588>_,
known
<1097> (5746)
and
<2532>
read
<314> (5746)
of
<5259>
all
<3956>
men
<444>_:
[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared
<5319> (5746)
to
<3754>
be
<2075> (5748)
the epistle
<1992>
of Christ
<5547>
ministered
<1247> (5685)
by
<5259>
us
<2257>_,
written
<1449> (5772)
not
<3756>
with ink
<3188>_,
but
<235>
with the Spirit
<4151>
of the living
<2198> (5723)
God
<2316>_;
not
<3756>
in
<1722>
tables
<4109>
of stone
<3035>_,
but
<235>
in
<1722>
fleshy
<4560>
tables
<4109>
of the heart
<2588>_.
And
<1161>
such
<5108>
trust
<4006>
have we
<2192> (5719)
through
<1223>
Christ
<5547>
to
<4314>
God-ward
<2316>_:
Not
<3756>
that
<3754>
we are
<2070> (5748)
sufficient
<2425>
of
<575>
ourselves
<1438>
to think
<3049> (5664)
any thing
<5100>
as
<5613>
of
<1537>
ourselves
<1438>_;
but
<235>
our
<2257>
sufficiency
<2426>
[is] of
<1537>
God
<2316>_;
Who
<3739>
also
<2532>
hath made
<2427> (0)
us
<2248>
able
<2427> (5656)
ministers
<1249>
of the new
<2537>
testament
<1242>_;
not
<3756>
of the letter
<1121>_,
but
<235>
of the spirit
<4151>_:
for
<1063>
the letter
<1121>
killeth
<615> (5719)_,
but
<1161>
the spirit
<4151>
giveth life
<2227> (5719)_.
{giveth life: or, quickeneth}
But
<1161>
if
<1487>
the ministration
<1248>
of death
<2288>_,
written
<1722> <1121>
[and] engraven
<1795> (5772)
in
<1722>
stones
<3037>_,
was
<1096> (5675)
glorious
<1722> <1391>_,
so
<5620>
that the children
<5207>
of Israel
<2474>
could
<1410> (5738)
not
<3361>
stedfastly behold
<816> (5658)
the face
<1519> <4383>
of Moses
<3475>
for
<1223>
the glory
<1391>
of his
<846>
countenance
<4383>_;
which
<3588>
[glory] was to be done away
<2673> (5746)_:
How
<4459>
shall
<1248> (0)
not
<3780>
the ministration
<1248>
of the spirit
<4151>
be
<2071> (5704)
rather
<3123> <1722>
glorious
<1391>_?
For
<1063>
if
<1487>
the ministration
<1248>
of condemnation
<2633>
[be] glory
<1391>_,
much
<4183>
more
<3123>
doth the ministration
<1248>
of righteousness
<1343>
exceed
<4052> (5719)
in
<1722>
glory
<1391>_.
For
<1063>
even
<2532>
that which was made glorious
<1392> (5769)
had no
<3761>
glory
<1392> (5772)
in
<1722>
this
<5129>
respect
<3313>_,
by reason
<1752>
of the glory
<1391>
that excelleth
<5235> (5723)_.
For
<1063>
if
<1487>
that which is done away
<2673> (5746)
[was] glorious
<1223> <1391>_,
much
<4183>
more
<3123>
that which remaineth
<3306> (5723)
[is] glorious
<1722> <1391>_.
Seeing then
<3767>
that we have
<2192> (5723)
such
<5108>
hope
<1680>_,
we use
<5530> (5736)
great
<4183>
plainness of speech
<3954>_:
{plainness: or, boldness}
And
<2532>
not
<3756>
as
<2509>
Moses
<3475>_,
[which] put
<5087> (5707)
a vail
<2571>
over
<1909>
his
<1438>
face
<4383>_,
that
<4314>
the children
<5207>
of Israel
<2474>
could
<816> (0)
not
<3361>
stedfastly look
<816> (5658)
to
<1519>
the end
<5056>
of that which is abolished
