1: Do we begin again to commend ourselves Or need we 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 of all people 3:
Forasmuch as you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ served by
us written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God not in tablets of
stone but in fleshy tablets of the heart 4: And such trust have we
through Christ towards ton Theon 5: Not that
we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves but our
sufficiency is of God 6: Who also has made us able diakonos of the new testament not of the letter but of the spirit
for the letter kills but the spirit gives life 7: But if the diakonia of death written and engraved
in stones was glorious so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look
upon the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance which glory was to be
done away 8: How shall not the diakonia
of the spirit be rather glorious 9: For if the diakonia of condemnation be glory much more does the diakonia of righteousness exceed in
glory 10: For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this
respect by reason of the glory that excels 11: For if that which is done
away was glorious much more that which remains is glorious 12: Seeing
then that we have such hope we use great plainness of speech 13: And not
as Moses which put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could not
steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished 14: But their
minds were blinded for until this day remains the same veil untaken away in the
reading of the old testament which veil is done away in Christ 15: But
even unto this day when Moses is read the veil hangs upon their hearts 16:
Nevertheless when they shall turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away 17:
Now the Lord is Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty 18:
But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are
changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the
Lord
Do you have the assurance
of knowing that if you died today, you have Eternal Life?
