Christ’s Epistle
1Do ⚓we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, ⚓epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?
2⚓You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ⚓ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not ⚓on tablets of stone but ⚓on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
The Spirit, Not the Letter
4And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
5⚓Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but ⚓our sufficiency is from God,
6who also made us sufficient as ⚓ministers of ⚓the new covenant, not ⚓of the letter but of the Spirit; for ⚓the letter kills, ⚓but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant
7But if ⚓the ministry of death, ⚓written and engraved on stones, was glorious, ⚓so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
8how will ⚓the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry ⚓of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
11For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
12Therefore, since we have such hope, ⚓we use great boldness of speech—
13unlike Moses, ⚓who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at ⚓the end of what was passing away.
14But ⚓their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16Nevertheless ⚓when one turns to the Lord, ⚓the veil is taken away.
17Now ⚓the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is⚓liberty.
18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding ⚓as in a mirror ⚓the glory of the Lord, ⚓are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
