II Corinthians 3 (kjv)

Do we begin^G756 again^G3825 to commend^G4921 ourselves^G1438? or^G1508 need we^G5535, as^G5613 some^G5100 others, epistles^G1992 of commendation^G4956 to^G4314 you^G5209, or^G2228 letters of commendation^G4956 from^G1537 you^G5216?²Ye^G5210 are^G2075 our^G2257 epistle^G1992 written^G1449 in^G1722 our^G2257 hearts^G2588, known^G1097 and^G2532 read^G314 of^G5259 all^G3956 men^G444:³Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared^G5319 to^G3754 be^G2075 the epistle^G1992 of Christ^G5547 ministered^G1247 by^G5259 us^G2257, written^G1449 not^G3756 with ink^G3188, but^G235 with the Spirit^G4151 of the living^G2198 God^G2316; not^G3756 in^G1722 tables^G4109 of stone^G3035, but^G235 in^G1722 fleshy^G4560 tables^G4109 of the heart^G2588.⁴And^G1161 such^G5108 trust^G4006 have we^G2192 through^G1223 Christ^G5547 to^G4314 God-ward^G2316:⁵Not^G3756 that^G3754 we are^G2070 sufficient^G2425 of^G575 ourselves^G1438 to think^G3049 any thing^G5100 as^G5613 of^G1537 ourselves^G1438; but^G235 our^G2257 sufficiency^G2426 is of^G1537 God^G2316;⁶Who^G3739 also^G2532 hath made^G2427 us^G2248 able^G2427 ministers^G1249 of the new^G2537 testament^G1242; not^G3756 of the letter^G1121, but^G235 of the spirit^G4151: for^G1063 the letter^G1121 killeth^G615, but^G1161 the spirit^G4151 giveth life^G2227.⁷But^G1161 if^G1487 the ministration^G1248 of death^G2288, written^{G1722 G1121} and engraven^G1795 in^G1722 stones^G3037, was^G1096 glorious^{G1722 G1391}, so^G5620 that the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474 could^G1410 not^G3361 stedfastly behold^G816 the face^{G1519 G4383} of Moses^G3475 for^G1223 the glory^G1391 of his^G846 countenance^G4383; which^G3588 glory was to be done away^G2673:⁸How^G4459 shall^G1248 not^G3780 the ministration^G1248 of the spirit^G4151 be^G2071 rather^{G3123 G1722} glorious^G1391?⁹For^G1063 if^G1487 the ministration^G1248 of condemnation^G2633 be glory^G1391, much^G4183 more^G3123 doth the ministration^G1248 of righteousness^G1343 exceed^G4052 in^G1722 glory^G1391.¹⁰For^G1063 even^G2532 that which was made glorious^G1392 had no^G3761 glory^G1392 in^G1722 this^G5129 respect^G3313, by reason^G1752 of the glory^G1391 that excelleth^G5235.¹¹For^G1063 if^G1487 that which is done away^G2673 was glorious^{G1223 G1391}, much^G4183 more^G3123 that which remaineth^G3306 is glorious^{G1722 G1391}.¹²Seeing then^G3767 that we have^G2192 such^G5108 hope^G1680, we use^G5530 great^G4183 plainness of speech^G3954:¹³And^G2532 not^G3756 as^G2509 Moses^G3475, which put^G5087 a vail^G2571 over^G1909 his^G1438 face^G4383, that^G4314 the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474 could^G816 not^G3361 stedfastly look^G816 to^G1519 the end^G5056 of that which is abolished^G2673:¹⁴But^G235 their^G846 minds^G3540 were blinded^G4456: for^G1063 until^G891 this day^G4594 remaineth^G3306 the same^G846 vail^G2571 untaken^G3361 away^G343 in^G1909 the reading^G320 of the old^G3820 testament^G1242; which^G3748 vail is done away^G2673 in^G1722 Christ^G5547.¹⁵But^G235 even^G2193 unto this day^G4594, when^G2259 Moses^G3475 is read^G314, the vail^G2571 is upon^{G2749 G1909} their^G846 heart^G2588.¹⁶Nevertheless^G1161 when^G2259 it^G302 shall turn^G1994 to^G4314 the Lord^G2962, the vail^G2571 shall be taken away^G4014.¹⁷Now^G1161 the Lord^G2962 is^G2076 that Spirit^G4151: and^G1161 where^G3757 the Spirit^G4151 of the Lord^G2962 is, there^G1563 is liberty^G1657.¹⁸But^G1161 we^G2249 all^G3956, with open^G343 face^G4383 beholding as in a glass^G2734 the glory^G1391 of the Lord^G2962, are changed^G3339 into the same^G846 image^G1504 from^G575 glory^G1391 to^G1519 glory^G1391, even as^G2509 by^G575 the Spirit^G4151 of the Lord^G2962.
