2 Corinthians 3:1-16

3:1

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>_?

3:2

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>_:

3:3

[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>_.

3:4

And
<1161>

such
<5108>

trust
<4006>

have we
<2192> (5719)

through
<1223>

Christ
<5547>

to
<4314>

God-ward
<2316>_:

3:5

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>_;

3:6

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}

3:7

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)_:

3:8

How
<4459>

shall
<1248> (0)

not
<3780>

the ministration
<1248>

of the spirit
<4151>

be
<2071> (5704)

rather
<3123> <1722>

glorious
<1391>_?

3:9

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>_.

3:10

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)_.

3:11

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>_.

3:12

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}

3:13

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
<2673> (5746)_:

3:14

But
<235>

their
<846>

minds
<3540>

were blinded
<4456> (5681)_:

for
<1063>

until
<891>

this day
<4594>

remaineth
<3306> (5719)

the same
<846>

vail
<2571>

untaken
<3361>

away
<343> (5746)

in
<1909>

the reading
<320>

of the old
<3820>

testament
<1242>_;

which
<3748>

[vail] is done away
<2673> (5743)

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>_.

3:15

But
<235>

even
<2193>

unto this day
<4594>_,

when
<2259>

Moses
<3475>

is read
<314> (5743)_,

the vail
<2571>

is upon
<2749> (5736) <1909>

their
<846>

heart
<2588>_.

3:16

Nevertheless
<1161>

when
<2259>

it
<302>

shall turn
<1994> (5661)

to
<4314>

the Lord
<2962>_,

the vail
<2571>

shall be taken away
<4014> (5743)_.
