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}

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:
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}
MoreoverG1161 the lawG3551 enteredG3922, thatG2443 the offenceG3900 might aboundG4121. ButG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 aboundedG4121, graceG5485 did much more aboundG5248:
Therefore seeingG1223+G5124 we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756;
ThatG2443 asG5618 sinG266 hath reignedG936 untoG1722 deathG2288, evenG2532 soG3779 mightG936 graceG5485 reignG936 throughG1223 righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG3303+G1526 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 this withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) {without…: or, without swearing of an oath}
ByG2596 so muchG5118 wasG1096 JesusG2424 madeG1096 a suretyG1450 of a betterG2909 testamentG1242.
AndG2532 theyG1526 trulyG3303 wereG1526+G1096 manyG4119 priestsG2409, because they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason ofG1223 deathG2288:
ButG1161 this man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG1519+G165, hathG2192 an unchangeableG531 priesthoodG2420. {an…: or, which passeth not from one to another}
WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to save themG4982 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing he everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846. {to the…: or, evermore}
InG1722 that he saithG3004, A newG2537 covenant, he hath madeG3822 the firstG4413 oldG3822. NowG1161 that which decayethG3822 andG2532 waxeth oldG1095 is readyG1451 to vanish awayG854.
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
WhoseG3739 voiceG5456 thenG5119 shookG4531 the earthG1093: butG1161 nowG3568 he hath promisedG1861, sayingG3004, YetG2089 once moreG530 IG1473 shakeG4579 notG3756 the earthG1093 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 heavenG3772.
AndG1161 this word, YetG2089 once moreG530, signifiethG1213 the removingG3331 of those things that are shakenG4531, asG5613 of things that are madeG4160, thatG2443 those things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remainG3306. {are shaken: or, may be shaken}
WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223+G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: {let…: or, let us hold fast}
ForG2532+G1063 ourG2257 GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fireG4442.
