3:1 Are
we
beginning
again
to
commend
ourselves
or
need
we,
as
do
some,
epistles
of
commendation
to
you
or
from
you
3:2 Ye
are
our
epistle,
written
in
our
hearts,
known
and
read
of
all
men;
3:3 being
made
manifest
that
ye
are
an
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
tables
[that
are]
hearts
of
flesh.
3:4 And
such
confidence
have
we
through
Christ
to
God-ward:
3:5 not
that
we
are
sufficient
of
ourselves,
to
account
anything
as
from
ourselves;
but
our
sufficiency
is
from
God;
3:6 who
also
made
us
sufficient
as
ministers
of
a
new
covenant;
not
of
the
letter,
but
of
the
spirit:
for
the
letter
killeth,
but
the
spirit
giveth
life.
3:7 But
if
the
ministration
of
death,
written,
[and]
engraven
on
stones,
came
with
glory,
so
that
the
children
of
Israel
could
not
look
stedfastly
upon
the
face
of
Moses
for
the
glory
of
his
face;
which
[glory]
was
passing
away:
3:8 how
shall
not
rather
the
ministration
of
the
spirit
be
with
glory
3:9 For
if
the
ministration
of
condemnation
hath
glory,
much
rather
doth
the
ministration
of
righteousness
exceed
in
glory.
3:10 For
verily
that
which
hath
been
made
glorious
hath
not
been
made
glorious
in
this
respect,
by
reason
of
the
glory
that
surpasseth.
3:11 For
if
that
which
passeth
away
[was]
with
glory,
much
more
that
which
remaineth
[is]
in
glory.
3:12 Having
therefore
such
a
hope,
we
use
great
boldness
of
speech,
3:13 and
[are]
not
as
Moses,
[who]
put
a
veil
upon
his
face,
that
the
children
of
Israel
should
not
look
stedfastly
on
the
end
of
that
which
was
passing
away:
3:14 but
their
minds
were
hardened:
for
until
this
very
day
at
the
reading
of
the
old
covenant
the
same
veil
remaineth,
it
not
being
revealed
[to
them]
that
it
is
done
away
in
Christ.
3:15 But
unto
this
day,
whensoever
Moses
is
read,
a
veil
lieth
upon
their
heart.
3:16 But
whensoever
it
shall
turn
to
the
Lord,
the
veil
is
taken
away.
3:17 Now
the
Lord
is
the
Spirit:
and
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is,
[there]
is
liberty.
3:18 But
we
all,
with
unveiled
face
beholding
as
in
a
mirror
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
are
transformed
into
the
same
image
from
glory
to
glory,
even
as
from
the
Lord
the
Spirit.
