ABP - II Corinthians - 3

3:1  Do we begin again to commend ourselves, unless we need, as some, of introductory letters to you, or [2from 3you 1introductory letters]?

3:2  [3our letter 1You 2are] being written in our hearts, being known and being read by all men;

3:3  being manifested that you are [2letter 1Christ's] served by us, having been written not with ink, but by spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stones, but on [2tablets 3of the heart 1fleshly].

3:4  [3reliance 1And 2such] we have through the Christ towards God;

3:5  not that we are fit of ourselves to consider anything as from out of ourselves, but our fitness is of God;

3:6  who also made us fit servants of a new covenant, not of contract, but of spirit. For the contract kills, but the spirit restores to life.

3:7  And if the service of death in contracts having been impressed in stones, happened for glory, so as for [4to not 5be able 6to gaze 1the 2sons 3of Israel] into the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, the one being cleared away;

3:8  how not more the service of the spirit will be in glory?

3:9  For if the service of condemnation be glory, much rather abounds the service of righteousness in glory.

3:10  For also not even [3has been glorified 1the thing 2having been glorified] in this part, on account of the exceeding glory.

3:11  For if the thing being cleared away was through glory, much rather the thing which remains is in glory.

3:12  Having then such hope, [2in much 3confidence 1we deal];

3:13  and not as Moses put a covering upon the face of himself, for the thing [4to not 5gaze 1of the 2sons 3of Israel] unto the end of the thing being cleared away.

3:14  But [2were calloused 1their thoughts]. For as far as today the same covering [2upon 3the 4reading 5of the 6old 7covenant 1remains], not uncovered, which in Christ is being cleared away.

3:15  But unto today, when Moses is read, a covering [2upon 3their heart 1lies].

3:16  But when ever it should turn towards the Lord, [3is removed 1the 2covering].

3:17  And the Lord [2the 3spirit 1is]; but where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

3:18  But we all with uncovered face [2the 3glory 4of the Lord 1are reflecting], the same image being transformed from glory unto glory, just as from the Lord of spirit.
