1Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?

stylus

2 Corinthians 5:12, Acts 18:27, 2 Corinthians 12:11, 2 Corinthians 10:12, 2 Corinthians 5:12

2Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;

stylus

1 Corinthians 9:1, 1 Corinthians 9:2, 1 Corinthians 9:1, 1 Corinthians 9:2, 1 Thessalonians 1:8

3being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh.

stylus

Ezekiel 11:19, Ezekiel 11:19, Jeremiah 31:33, Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10

4And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:

stylus

Ephesians 3:12, Ephesians 3:12, Philippians 1:6, Philippians 1:6, Exodus 18:19

5not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

stylus

2 Corinthians 12:9, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 4:13, Philippians 4:13, 1 Corinthians 15:10

6who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

stylus

John 6:63, John 6:63, Romans 7:6, Romans 7:6, Jeremiah 31:31

7But if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away:

stylus

2 Corinthians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 3:11, 2 Corinthians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 3:11, 1 Corinthians 13:10

8how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?

stylus

1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 2:18, Galatians 3:14, Ephesians 2:18

9For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

stylus

Romans 3:21, Romans 3:22, Hebrews 12:18, Hebrews 12:21, Romans 3:21

10For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth.

stylus

2 Peter 1:17, 2 Peter 1:17, Haggai 2:7, Haggai 2:9, Haggai 2:7

11For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

stylus

Hebrews 8:13, Romans 5:20, Romans 5:21, Hebrews 8:13, Romans 5:20

12Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

stylus

2 Corinthians 7:4, 2 Corinthians 7:4, Acts 4:13, John 16:29, Ephesians 6:19

13andarenot as Moses, whoput a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:

stylus

Exodus 34:33, Exodus 34:35, Exodus 34:33, Exodus 34:35, Hebrews 10:1

14but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ.

stylus

2 Corinthians 4:3, 2 Corinthians 4:4, 2 Corinthians 4:3, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Acts 26:18

15But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.

stylus

Acts 13:27, Acts 13:29, Acts 13:27, Acts 13:29

16But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

stylus

Exodus 34:34, Exodus 34:34, Isaiah 25:7, Isaiah 29:18, Isaiah 25:7

17Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

stylus

Romans 8:2, Romans 8:2, Galatians 5:13, Galatians 5:13, John 8:32

18But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

stylus

2 Corinthians 4:6, 2 Corinthians 4:6, Ephesians 4:22, Ephesians 4:24, Ephesians 4:22
