Sha'ul'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 Messiah, 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. {3:4} Such confidence
we have through Messiah 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 Yisra'el could not look steadfastly on the face of Moshe
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 assuredly 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 Moshe, who put a veil on his face, that the
children of Yisra'el 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 Messiah it passes away. {3:15} But to this day,
when Moshe 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.
