1Are we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Or do we need, like some others, letters of recommendation to you, or letters of recommendation 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 letter, written in our hearts, 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

3since ye are manifestly shown to be a letter of Christ by means of our service, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.

stylus

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

4And such confidence as this have we through Christ toward God;

stylus

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

5not that we are able of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God;

stylus

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

6who also gave us ability to be 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, engraven in letters on stones, was so glorious, that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses by reason of 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

8shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more 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 had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.

stylus

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

10For even that which was made glorious hath ceased to be glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory by which it is exceeded.

stylus

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

11For if that which was to be done away was glorious, much more glorious is that which endureth.

stylus

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

12Having therefore 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 do not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the end of that which was to be done away.

stylus

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

14But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled 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 even till this day, when Moses is read, there lieth a veil upon their heart;

stylus

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

16but whenever it turneth 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 in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

stylus

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