1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation 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

3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the 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 fleshy tables of the heart.

stylus

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

4And such trust 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 think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of 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 able ministers of the new testament; 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 in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done 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 the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

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 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 even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, 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 glorious.

stylus

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

12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

stylus

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

13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

stylus

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

14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail 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 even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

stylus

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

16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

stylus

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

17Now the Lord is that 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 open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even 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
