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}

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}
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.
And what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, that hath statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 so righteousH6662 as all this lawH8451, which I setH5414 beforeH6440 you this dayH3117?
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 came downH3381 from mountH2022 SinaiH5514 with the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of testimonyH5715 in Moses'H4872 handH3027, when he came downH3381 from the mountH2022, that MosesH4872 wistH3045 not that the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160 while he talkedH1696 with him.
And when AaronH175 and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 MosesH4872, behold, the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160; and they were afraidH3372 to come nighH5066 him.
And MosesH4872 calledH7121 unto them; and AaronH175 and all the rulersH5387 of the congregationH5712 returnedH7725 unto him: and MosesH4872 talkedH1696 with them.
And afterwardH310 all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came nighH5066: and he gave them in commandmentH6680 all that the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 with him in mountH2022 SinaiH5514.
And till MosesH4872 had doneH3615 speakingH1696 with them, he putH5414 a vailH4533 on his faceH6440.
But when MosesH4872 went inH935 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to speakH1696 with him, he tookH5493 the vailH4533 offH5493, until he came outH3318. And he came outH3318, and spakeH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that which he was commandedH6680.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 the faceH6440 of MosesH4872, that the skinH5785 of Moses'H4872 faceH6440 shoneH7160: and MosesH4872 putH7725 the vailH4533 upon his faceH6440 againH7725, until he wentH935 in to speakH1696 with him.
ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392 had noG3761 gloryG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excellethG5235.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Come upH5927 to me into the mountH2022, and be there: and I will giveH5414 thee tablesH3871 of stoneH68, and a lawH8451, and commandmentsH4687 which I have writtenH3789; that thou mayest teachH3384 them.
Thou camest downH3381 also upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and spakestH1696 with them from heavenH8064, and gavestH5414 them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941, and trueH571 lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687: {true…: Heb. laws of truth}
AndG2532 asG1722 heG846 prayedG4336, the fashionG1491 of hisG846 countenanceG4383 wasG1096 alteredG2087, andG2532 hisG846 raimentG2441 was whiteG3022 and glisteringG1823.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there talkedG4814 with himG846 twoG1417 menG435, whichG3748 wereG2258 MosesG3475 andG2532 EliasG2243:
WhoG3739 appearedG3700 inG1722 gloryG1391, and spakeG3004 of hisG846 deceaseG1841 whichG3739 he shouldG3195 accomplishG4137 atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673 was gloriousG1223+G1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306 is gloriousG1722+G1391.
AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
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.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516 inG1722 the councilG4892, looking stedfastlyG816 onG1519 himG846, sawG1492 hisG846 faceG4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
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.
And MosesH4872 turnedH6437, and went downH3381 from the mountH2022, and the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of the testimonyH5715 were in his handH3027: the tablesH3871 were writtenH3789 on bothH8147 their sidesH5676; on the one side and on the other were they writtenH3789.
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
And the tablesH3871 were the workH4639 of GodH430, and the writingH4385 was the writingH4385 of GodH430, gravenH2801 upon the tablesH3871.
ButG1161 whenG3752 that which is perfectG5046 is comeG2064, thenG5119 that which is inG1537 partG3313 shall be done awayG2673. {done away: Gr. vanish away}
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nighH7126 unto the campH4264, that he sawH7200 the calfH5695, and the dancingH4246: and Moses'H4872 angerH639 waxed hotH2734, and he castH7993 the tablesH3871 out of his handsH3027, and brakeH7665 them beneathH8478 the mountH2022.
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.
Therefore I esteem all thy preceptsH6490 concerning all things to be rightH3474; and I hateH8130 every falseH8267 wayH734.
And he was there with the LORDH3068 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; he did neither eatH398 breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325. And he wroteH3789 upon the tablesH3871 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285, the tenH6235 commandmentsH1697. {commandments: Heb. words}
And he declaredH5046 unto you his covenantH1285, which he commandedH6680 you to performH6213, even tenH6235 commandmentsH1697; and he wroteH3789 them upon twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
These wordsH1697 the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto all your assemblyH6951 in the mountH2022 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784, of the cloudH6051, and of the thick darknessH6205, with a greatH1419 voiceH6963: and he added no moreH3254. And he wroteH3789 them in twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, and deliveredH5414 them unto me.
When I was gone upH5927 into the mountH2022 to receiveH3947 the tablesH3871 of stoneH68, even the tablesH3871 of the covenantH1285 which the LORDH3068 madeH3772 with you, then I abodeH3427 in the mountH2022 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, I neither did eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 unto me twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 writtenH3789 with the fingerH676 of GodH430; and on them was written according to all the wordsH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 with you in the mountH2022 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, that the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 me the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, even the tablesH3871 of the covenantH1285.
Unto AdamH120 also and to his wifeH802 did the LORDH3068 GodH430 makeH6213 coatsH3801 of skinsH5785, and clothed themH3847.
So I turnedH6437 and came downH3381 from the mountH2022, and the mountH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784: and the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of the covenantH1285 were in my twoH8147 handsH3027.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, HewH6458 thee twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223, and come upH5927 unto me into the mountH2022, and makeH6213 thee an arkH727 of woodH6086.
And I will writeH3789 on the tablesH3871 the wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 tablesH3871 which thou brakestH7665, and thou shalt putH7760 them in the arkH727.
And I madeH6213 an arkH727 of shittimH7848 woodH6086, and hewedH6458 twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223, and went upH5927 into the mountH2022, having the twoH8147 tablesH3871 in mine handH3027.
And he wroteH3789 on the tablesH3871, according to the firstH7223 writingH4385, the tenH6235 commandmentsH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto you in the mountH2022 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951: and the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 them unto me. {commandments: Heb. words}
