1: Are we beginningG0756 againG3825 ourselvesG1438 to commend?G4921 OrG2228 notG3361 we need,G5535 likeG5613 some,G5100 commendatoryG4956 lettersG1992 toG4314 youG4771 orG2228 fromG1537 you?G4771
2: TheG3588 letterG1992 of usG1473 youG4771 are,G1510 having been inscribedG1449 inG1722 theG3588 heartsG2588 of us,G1473 being knownG1097 andG2532 being readG0314 byG5259 allG3956 men,G0444
3: being revealedG5319 thatG3754 you areG1510 a letterG1992 of Christ,G5547 having been ministered toG1247 byG5259 us,G1473 having been inscribedG1449 notG3756 in inkG3188 butG0235 with [the] SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 [the] living,G2198 notG3756 onG1722 tabletsG4109 of stoneG3035 butG0235 onG1722 tabletsG4109 of heartsG2588 human.G4560
4: ConfidenceG4006 nowG1161 suchG5108 we haveG2192 throughG1223 -G3588 ChristG5547 towardG4314 -G3588 God.G2316
5: NotG3756 thatG3754 fromG0575 ourselvesG1438 sufficientG2425 we areG1510 to reckonG3049 anythingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselves,G1438 butG0235 theG3588 sufficiencyG2426 of usG1473 [is] ofG1537 -G3588 God,G2316
6: whoG3739 alsoG2532 has made competentG2427 us [as]G1473 ministersG1249 of a newG2537 covenant,G1242 notG3756 of [the] letterG1121 butG0235 of [the] Spirit;G4151 theG3588 forG1063 letterG1121 kills,G0615 -G3588 butG1161 the SpiritG4151 gives life.G2227
7: IfG1487 nowG1161 theG3588 ministryG1248 -G3588 of death,G2288 inG1722 lettersG1121 having been engravedG1795 on stones,G3037 was producedG1096 inG1722 glory,G1391 so as forG5620 notG3361 to be ableG1410 to look intentlyG0816 theG3588 sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 intoG1519 theG3588 faceG4383 of Moses,G3475 on account ofG1223 theG3588 gloryG1391 of theG3588 faceG4383 of him,G0846 whichG3588 is fading,G2673
8: howG4459 notG3780 more,G3123 theG3588 ministryG1248 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 will beG1510 inG1722 glory?G1391
9: IfG1487 forG1063 in theG3588 ministryG1248 -G3588 of condemnation [was]G2633 glory,G1391 muchG4183 moreG3123 aboundsG4052 theG3588 ministryG1248 -G3588 of righteousnessG1343 [in] glory!G1391
10: EvenG2532 for,G1063 notG3756 has been glorifiedG1392 thatG3588 having been made gloriousG1392 inG1722 thisG3778 -G3588 respect,G3313 on account ofG1752 theG3588 surpassing [it]G5235 glory.G1391
11: IfG1487 forG1063 that whichG3588 is fading awayG2673 [was] throughG1223 glory,G1391 muchG4183 more [is]G3123 thatG3588 remainingG3306 inG1722 glory!G1391
12: HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 suchG5108 hope,G1680 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 we use,G5530
13: andG2532 notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475 would putG5087 a veilG2571 overG1909 theG3588 faceG4383 of himself,G0846 forG4314 -G3588 notG3361 to look intentlyG0816 theG3588 sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 intoG1519 theG3588 endG5056 of thatG3588 fading away.G2673
14: ButG0235 were hardenedG4456 theG3588 mindsG3540 of them.G0846 UntilG0891 forG1063 theG3588 presentG4594 day,G2250 theG3588 sameG0846 veilG2571 atG1909 theG3588 readingG0320 of theG3588 oldG3820 covenantG1242 remains,G3306 notG3361 being lifted,G0343 whichG3754 inG1722 ChristG5547 is being removed.G2673
15: ButG0235 untoG2193 this day,G4594 whenG2259 -G0302 shall be readG0314 Moses,G3475 a veilG2571 overG1909 theG3588 heartG2588 of themG0846 lies.G2749
16: WheneverG2259 howeverG1161 ifG1437 [one] shall have turnedG1994 toG4314 [the] Lord,G2962 is taken awayG4014 theG3588 veil.G2571
17: TheG3588 nowG1161 LordG2962 theG3588 SpiritG4151 is;G1510 whereG3757 nowG1161 theG3588 SpiritG4151 of [the] Lord [is],G2962 [there is] freedom.G1657
18: WeG1473 nowG1161 all,G3956 having been unveiledG0343 in face,G4383 theG3588 gloryG1391 of [the] LordG2962 beholding as in a mirror,G2734 theG3588 sameG0846 imageG1504 are being transformed into,G3339 fromG0575 gloryG1391 toG1519 glory,G1391 even asG2509 fromG0575 [the] Lord,G2962 [the] Spirit.G4151
