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}
NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657.
ForG1063 ifG1487+G3303 he that comethG2064 preachethG2784 anotherG243 JesusG2424, whomG3739 we haveG2784 notG3756 preachedG2784, orG2228 if ye receiveG2983 anotherG2087 spiritG4151, whichG3739 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983, orG2228 anotherG2087 gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye haveG1209 notG3756 acceptedG1209, ye mightG430 wellG2573 bear withG430 him. {with him: or, with me}
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
For I will pourH3332 waterH4325 upon him that is thirstyH6771, and floodsH5140 upon the dry groundH3004: I will pourH3332 my spiritH7307 upon thy seedH2233, and my blessingH1293 upon thine offspringH6631:
As for me, this is my covenantH1285 with them, saithH559 the LORDH3068; My spiritH7307 that is upon thee, and my wordsH1697 which I have putH7760 in thy mouthH6310, shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seedH2233, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seed'sH2233 seedH2233, saithH559 the LORDH3068, from henceforth and forH5704 everH5769.
And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012, your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200 visionsH2384:
And also upon the servantsH5650 and upon the handmaidsH8198 in those daysH3117 will I pour outH8210 my spiritH7307.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
(ButG1161 thisG5124 spake heG2036 ofG4012 the SpiritG4151, whichG3739 they that believeG4100 onG1519 himG846 shouldG3195 receiveG2983: forG1063 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 not yetG3768 given; becauseG3754 that JesusG2424 wasG1392 not yetG3764 glorifiedG1392.)
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 ye areG2075 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellethG3611 inG1722 youG5213?
NowG1161 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of giftsG5486, butG1161 the sameG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
AndG2532 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of operationsG1755, butG1161 it isG2076 the sameG846 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
ThisG5124 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG5216, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Are yeG2075 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561?
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
He thereforeG3767 that ministerethG2023 to youG5213 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 workethG1754 miraclesG1411 amongG1722 youG5213, doeth he it byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
ForG1063 weG2249 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 isG2076 loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, longsufferingG3115, gentlenessG5544, goodnessG19, faithG4102,
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
