3:1 Do
we
begin
again
to
recommend
ourselves,
except
we
need,
as
some,
letters
of
recommendation
unto
you,
or
from
you
3:2 our
letter
ye
are,
having
been
written
in
our
hearts,
known
and
read
by
all
men,
3:3 manifested
that
ye
are
a
letter
of
Christ
ministered
by
us,
written
not
with
ink,
but
with
the
Spirit
of
the
living
God,
not
in
the
tablets
of
stone,
but
in
fleshy
tablets
of
the
heart,
3:4 and
such
trust
we
have
through
the
Christ
toward
God,
3:5 not
that
we
are
sufficient
of
ourselves
to
think
anything,
as
of
ourselves,
but
our
sufficiency
[is]
of
God,
3:6 who
also
made
us
sufficient
[to
be]
ministrants
of
a
new
covenant,
not
of
letter,
but
of
spirit;
for
the
letter
doth
kill,
and
the
spirit
doth
make
alive.
3:7 and
if
the
ministration
of
the
death,
in
letters,
engraved
in
stones,
came
in
glory,
so
that
the
sons
of
Israel
were
not
able
to
look
stedfastly
to
the
face
of
Moses,
because
of
the
glory
of
his
face--which
was
being
made
useless,
3:8 how
shall
the
ministration
of
the
Spirit
not
be
more
in
glory
3:9 for
if
the
ministration
of
the
condemnation
[is]
glory,
much
more
doth
the
ministration
of
the
righteousness
abound
in
glory;
3:10 for
also
even
that
which
hath
been
glorious,
hath
not
been
glorious--in
this
respect,
because
of
the
superior
glory;
3:11 for
if
that
which
is
being
made
useless
[is]
through
glory,
much
more
that
which
is
remaining
[is]
in
glory.
3:12 Having,
then,
such
hope,
we
use
much
freedom
of
speech,
3:13 and
[are]
not
as
Moses,
who
was
putting
a
vail
upon
his
own
face,
for
the
sons
of
Israel
not
stedfastly
to
look
to
the
end
of
that
which
is
being
made
useless,
3:14 but
their
minds
were
hardened,
for
unto
this
day
the
same
vail
at
the
reading
of
the
Old
Covenant
doth
remain
unwithdrawn--which
in
Christ
is
being
made
useless--
3:15 but
till
to-day,
when
Moses
is
read,
a
vail
upon
their
heart
doth
lie,
3:16 and
whenever
they
may
turn
unto
the
Lord,
the
vail
is
taken
away.
3:17 And
the
Lord
is
the
Spirit;
and
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
[is]
,
there
[is]
liberty;
3:18 and
we
all,
with
unvailed
face,
the
glory
of
the
Lord
beholding
in
a
mirror,
to
the
same
image
are
being
transformed,
from
glory
to
glory,
even
as
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord.
