2 Corinthians 3:1-2

A Living Letter

3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? We don’t need letters of recommendation to you or from you as some other people do, do we? ¹  3:2 You yourselves are our letter, ²  written on our hearts, known and read by everyone,

[3:1]  ¹ tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply (“No, we do not”) which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ at the end, “do we?”

[3:2]  ² tn That is, “letter of recommendation.”
