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 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 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
ForG1063 the lawG3551 havingG2192 a shadowG4639 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, and notG3756 the veryG846 imageG1504 of the thingsG4229, canG1410 neverG3763 with thoseG846 sacrificesG2378 whichG3739 they offeredG4374 year by yearG2596+G1763 continuallyG1519+G1336 makeG5048 the comers thereuntoG4334 perfectG5048.
For thenG1893 would theyG302 notG3756 have ceasedG3973 to be offeredG4374? becauseG1223 that the worshippersG3000 onceG530 purgedG2508 should have hadG2192 noG3367 moreG2089 conscienceG4893 of sinsG266. {would…: or, they would have ceased to be offered, because, etc.}
ButG235 inG1722 thoseG846 sacrifices there is a remembrance againG364 made of sinsG266 everyG2596 yearG1763.
ForG1063 it is not possibleG102 that the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131 should take awayG851 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 when he comethG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, he saithG3004, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, butG1161 a bodyG4983 hast thou preparedG2675 meG3427: {hast…: or, thou hast fitted me}
In burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 sacrifices forG4012 sinG266 thou hast hadG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106.
ThenG5119 said IG2036, LoG2400, I comeG2240 (inG1722 the volumeG2777 of the bookG975 it is writtenG1125 ofG4012 meG1700,) to doG4160 thyG4675 willG2307, O GodG2316.
AboveG511 when he saidG3004+G3754, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 andG2532 burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 offering forG4012 sinG266 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, neitherG3761 hadst pleasureG2106 therein; whichG3748 are offeredG4374 byG2596 the lawG3551;
ThenG5119 said heG2046, LoG2400, I comeG2240 to doG4160 thyG4675 willG2307, O GodG2316. He taketh awayG337 the firstG4413, thatG2443 he may establishG2476 the secondG1208.
