| 1 | Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you? | 2Co 2:17 2Co 5:12 2Co 10:8 2Co 10:12 2Co 12:11 2Co 12:19 1Co 3:10 1Co 4:15 1Co 10:33 |
| 2 | You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; | 1Co 3:10 1Co 9:1 1Co 9:2 |
| 3 | being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered 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. | Ex 31:18 Rev 2:1 Rev 2:8 Rev 2:12 Rev 2:18 Rev 3:1 Rev 3:7 Rev 3:14 Rev 3:22 |
| 4 | Such confidence we have through Christ toward God; | 2Co 2:14 Php 1:6 |
| 5 | not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; | 2Co 2:16 2Co 4:7 Ex 4:10 Jn 15:5 |
| 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. | 2Co 5:18-20 Mt 13:52 Ro 1:5 1Co 3:5 1Co 3:10 1Co 12:28 Eph 3:7 Eph 4:11 Eph 4:12 Col 1:25-29 1Ti 1:11 1Ti 1:12 1Ti 4:6 2Ti 1:11 |
| 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: | 2Co 3:6 2Co 3:9 Ro 7:10 |
| 8 | won`t rather service of the spirit be rather with more glory? | 2Co 3:6 2Co 3:17 2Co 11:4 Isa 11:2 Isa 44:3 Isa 59:21 Jl 2:28 Jl 2:29 Jn 1:17 Jn 7:39 Ac 2:17 Ac 2:18 Ac 2:32 Ac 2:33 Ro 8:9-16 1Co 3:16 1Co 12:4-11 Ga 3:2-5 Ga 3:14-5 Ga 5:5 Ga 5:22 Ga 5:23 Eph 2:18 2Th 2:13 1Pe 1:2 Jud 1:19 Jud 1:20 |
| 9 | For if the service of condemnation has glory, much rather does the service of righteousness exceed in glory. | 2Co 3:6 2Co 3:7 Ex 19:12-19 Ex 20:18 Ex 20:19 Ro 1:18 Ro 8:3 Ro 8:4 Ga 3:10 Heb 12:18-21 |
| 10 | For most assuredly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses. | Jb 25:5 Isa 24:23 Hg 2:3 Hg 2:7-9 Ac 26:13 Php 3:7-8 2Pe 1:17 Rev 21:23 Rev 21:24 Rev 22:5 |
| 11 | For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. | 2Co 3:7 Ro 5:20 Ro 5:21 Heb 7:21-25 Heb 8:13 Heb 12:25-29 |
| 12 | Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, | 2Co 4:2 2Co 4:3 2Co 4:13 Jn 10:24 Jn 16:25 Jn 16:29 1Co 14:19 Col 4:4 |
| 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. | Ex 34:33-35 |
| 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 in passes away. | 2Co 4:3 2Co 4:4 Ps 69:23 Isa 6:10 Isa 26:10-12 Isa 42:18-20 Isa 44:18 Isa 56:10 Isa 59:10 Jer 5:21 Ezk 12:2 Mt 6:23 Mt 13:11 Mt 13:13-15 Jn 9:39-41 Jn 12:40 Ac 28:26 Ac 28:27 Ro 11:7-10 Ro 11:25-10 |
| 15 | But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. | Ac 13:27-29 |
| 16 | But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. | Ex 34:34 Dt 4:30 Dt 30:10 Lam 3:40 Hos 3:4 Hos 3:5 Ro 11:25-27 |
| 17 | Now the Lord is the Spirita and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. | 2Co 3:6 Jn 6:63 1Co 15:45 |
| 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. | 1Co 13:12 Jm 1:23 |
