2 Corinthians 3

¹Begin we again to commend our-selves? or do we need (as certain) epistles of commendation to you, of from you?

²Our epistle you are, written in our hearts, which is known & read of all men:

³being manifested that you are the 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 the tables carnal of the heart.

⁴And such confidence we have by Christ to God:

⁵not that we be sufficient to think any thing of our-selves, as of our-selves: but our sufficiency is of God.

⁶Who also hath made us meet ministers of the new testament: not in the letter, but in the Spirit. For the letter killeth: but the Spirit quickeneth.

⁷And if the ministration of death with letters figured in stones, was in glory, so that the children of Israel could not behold the face of Moyses for the glory of his countenance, that is made void;

⁸how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more in glory?

⁹For if the ministration of damnation be in glory, much more the ministry of justice aboundeth in glory.

¹⁰For neither was it glorified, which in this part was glorious, by reason of the excelling glory.

¹¹For if that which is made void, is by glory: much more that which abideth, is in glory.

¹²Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence:

¹³and not as Moyses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not behold his face, which is made void.

¹⁴but their senses were dulled. For until this present day, the self-same veil in the lecture of the old testament remaineth unrevealed (because in Christ it is made void)

¹⁵but until this present day, when Moyses is read, a veil is put upon their heart.

¹⁶But when he shall be converted to our Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

¹⁷And our Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of our Lord is, there is liberty.

¹⁸But we all, beholding the glory of our Lord with face revealed, are transformed into the same image from glory unto glory, as of our Lord's Spirit.
