2 Corinthians 3:7--4:6

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)_.

3:17

Now
<1161>

the Lord
<2962>

is
<2076> (5748)

that Spirit
<4151>_:

and
<1161>

where
<3757>

the Spirit
<4151>

of the Lord
<2962>

[is], there
<1563>

[is] liberty
<1657>_.

3:18

But
<1161>

we
<2249>

all
<3956>_,

with open
<343> (5772)

face
<4383>

beholding as in a glass
<2734> (5734)

the glory
<1391>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

are changed
<3339> (5743)

into the same
<846>

image
<1504>

from
<575>

glory
<1391>

to
<1519>

glory
<1391>_,

[even] as
<2509>

by
<575>

the Spirit
<4151>

of the Lord
<2962>_.

{by the...: or, of the Lord the Spirit}

4:1

Therefore seeing
<1223> <5124>

we have
<2192> (5723)

this
<5026>

ministry
<1248>_,

as
<2531>

we have received mercy
<1653> (5681)_,

we faint
<1573> (5719)

not
<3756>_;

4:2

But
<235>

have renounced
<550> (5639)

the hidden things
<2927>

of dishonesty
<152>_,

not
<3361>

walking
<4043> (5723)

in
<1722>

craftiness
<3834>_,

nor
<3366>

handling
<1389> (0)

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

deceitfully
<1389> (5723)_;

but
<235>

by manifestation
<5321>

of the truth
<225>

commending
<4921> (5723)

ourselves
<1438>

to
<4314>

every
<3956>

man's
<444>

conscience
<4893>

in the sight
<1799>

of God
<2316>_.

{dishonesty: Gr. shame}

4:3

But
<1161>

if
<1499>

our
<2257>

gospel
<2098>

be
<2076> (5748)

hid
<2572> (5772)_,

it is
<2076> (5748)

hid
<2572> (5772)

to
<1722>

them that are lost
<622> (5730)_:

4:4

In
<1722>

whom
<3739>

the god
<2316>

of this
<5127>

world
<165>

hath blinded
<5186> (5656)

the minds
<3540>

of them which believe not
<571>_,

lest
<1519> <3361>

the light
<5462>

of the glorious
<1391>

gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_,

who
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

the image
<1504>

of God
<2316>_,

should shine
<826> (5658)

unto them
<846>_.

4:5

For
<1063>

we preach
<2784> (5719)

not
<3756>

ourselves
<1438>_,

but
<235>

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>

the Lord
<2962>_;

and
<1161>

ourselves
<1438>

your
<5216>

servants
<1401>

for
<1223> (0)

Jesus
<2424>_'

sake
<1223>_.

4:6

For
<3754>

God
<2316>_,

who
<3588>

commanded
<2036> (5631)

the light
<5457>

to shine
<2989> (5658)

out of
<1537>

darkness
<4655>_,

<3739>

hath shined
<2989> (5656)

in
<1722>

our
<2257>

hearts
<2588>_,

to
<4314>

[give] the light
<5462>

of the knowledge
<1108>

of the glory
<1391>

of God
<2316>

in
<1722>

the face
<4383>

of Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_.

{hath: Gr. is he who hath}
