1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) 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

2You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:

stylus

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

3Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written: not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God: not in tables of stone but in the fleshly tables of the heart.

stylus

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

4And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.

stylus

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

5Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of 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 hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter but in the spirit. For the letter killeth: but the spirit quickeneth.

stylus

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

7Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance), which is made void:

stylus

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

8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in 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 be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.

stylus

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

10For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by reason of the glory that excelleth.

stylus

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

11For if that which is done away was glorious, 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 hope, we use much confidence.

stylus

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

13And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.

stylus

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

14But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).

stylus

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

15But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.

stylus

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

16But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

stylus

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

17Now the Lord is a 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, beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

stylus

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