Do we begin again? Or do we need, as some, letters of recommendation to you or from you? |

You - our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; |
| 3
|
You show that you are - the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. |
| 4
|
Such confidence we have in God through Christ, |
| 5
|
Not that we ourselves to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.
|

|
He made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of letter but of spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit giveth life. |

If the ministration of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the Israelites could not look on the face of Fame face of Moses because of its transient - |
| 8
|
shall we not much more to be nice to the spirit of service? |
| 9
|
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness glory. |
| 10
|
That glorious even glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that [later]. |
| eleven
|
For if the transient glorious, much more glorious.
|

|
With this hope, we act with great boldness, |
| 13
|
and not as Moses, [who] put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel have not looked at the end of the transitory. |
| 14
|
But their minds were blinded: for to this day the same veil remains unwithdrawn when reading the Old Testament, because it is done away in Christ. |
| 15
|
To this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; |
| 16
|
but when turning to the Lord, the veil is taken away. |
| 17
|
The Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
| 18
|
But we all, with open face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. |
