Do we beginG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1508 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters of commendationG4956 fromG1537 youG5216?
YeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 epistleG1992 writtenG1449 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, knownG1097 andG2532 readG314 ofG5259 allG3956 menG444:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declaredG5319 toG3754 beG2075 the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588.
AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192 throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-wardG2316:
NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070 sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049 any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselvesG1438; butG235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 is ofG1537 GodG2316;
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722+G1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1722+G1391, soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG1519+G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:
HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123+G1722 gloriousG1391?
ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392 had noG3761 gloryG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excellethG5235.
ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673 was gloriousG1223+G1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306 is gloriousG1722+G1391.
Seeing thenG3767 that we haveG2192 suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530 greatG4183 plainness of speechG3954: {plainness: or, boldness}
AndG2532 notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475, which putG5087 a vailG2571 overG1909 hisG1438 faceG4383, thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG816 notG3361 stedfastly lookG816 toG1519 the endG5056 of that which is abolishedG2673:
ButG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were blindedG4456: forG1063 untilG891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306 the sameG846 vailG2571 untakenG3361 awayG343 inG1909 the readingG320 of the oldG3820 testamentG1242; whichG3748 vail is done awayG2673 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ButG235 evenG2193 unto this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314, the vailG2571 is uponG2749+G1909 theirG846 heartG2588.
NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994 toG4314 the LordG2962, the vailG2571 shall be taken awayG4014.
NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657.
ButG1161 weG2249 allG3956, with openG343 faceG4383 beholding as in a glassG2734 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are changedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 fromG575 gloryG1391 toG1519 gloryG1391, even asG2509 byG575 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962. {by the…: or, of the Lord the Spirit}

And he gaveH5414 unto MosesH4872, when he had made an endH3615 of communingH1696 with him upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, twoH8147 tablesH3871 of testimonyH5715, tablesH3871 of stoneH68, writtenH3789 with the fingerH676 of GodH430.
ForG1063 thoughG1512+G2532 there beG1526 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 inG1909 earthG1093, (asG5618 there beG1526 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,)
ButG235 to usG2254 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3962, ofG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 byG1223 himG846. {in: or, for}
HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435.
ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302. {are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}

And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423 drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, HewH6458 thee twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223: and I will writeH3789 upon these tablesH3871 the wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 tablesH3871, which thou brakestH7665.

My soulH5315 thirstethH6770 for GodH430, for the livingH2416 GodH410: when shall I comeH935 and appearH7200 beforeH6440 GodH430?
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
