2 Corinthians
2 Corinthians 3 ©
1 To do away with the imputation of vain glory, Paul sheweth that the gifts and graces of the Corinthians were a sufficient commendation of his ministry, 4 the efficacy of which he ascribeth entirely to God. 6 He proveth the superior excellency of the gospel ministry to that of the law; 12 and thereupon justifieth his plain speaking, as under a dispensation of greater light and liberty than that of Moses.
*Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be dthe epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in etables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Who also hhath made us able ministers of ithe new jtestament; knot of the letter, but of the spirit: for lthe letter killeth, but mthe spirit 1giveth life.
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
And not as Moses, swhich put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look tto the end of that which is abolished:
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the *vail is upon their heart.
