2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Context3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, 2 there is freedom. 3:18 And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, 3 are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, 4 which is from 5 the Lord, who is the Spirit. 6
[3:8] 1 tn Grk “how will not rather the ministry of the Spirit be with glory?”
[3:17] 2 tn Grk “where the Spirit of the Lord is”; the word “present” is supplied to specify that the presence of the Lord’s Spirit is emphasized rather than the mere existence of the Lord’s Spirit.
[3:18] 3 tn Or “we all with unveiled faces beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror.”
[3:18] 4 tn Grk “from glory to glory.”
[3:18] 5 tn Grk “just as from.”
[3:18] 6 tn Grk “from the Lord, the Spirit”; the genitive πνεύματος (pneumato") has been translated as a genitive of apposition.
