Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 3, World English Bible |
Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 3
{3:1} Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as
do some, letters of commendation to you or from you? {3:2} You are our
letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; {3:3} being
revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not
with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of
stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh. {3:4} Such confidence
we have through Christ toward God; {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 servants of a new
covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills,
but the Spirit gives life. {3:7} But if the service of death, written
engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel
could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his
face; which was passing away: {3:8} won't service of the Spirit be
with much more glory? {3:9} For if the service of condemnation has
glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. {3:10}
For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made
glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
{3:11} For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that
which remains is in glory.
{3:12} Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of
speech, {3:13} and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the
children of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly 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 remains,
because in Christ it passes away. {3:15} But to this day, when Moses
is read, a veil lies on their heart. {3:16} But whenever one turns 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.
