KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

[Forasmuch 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.

KJV

And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

KJV

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;

KJV

Who 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.

KJV

But 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:

KJV

How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

KJV

For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

KJV

For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

KJV

For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.

KJV

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

KJV

And 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:

KJV

But 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.

KJV

But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

KJV

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

KJV

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.

KJV

But 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.
