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 ifG1499 ourG2257 gospelG2098 beG2076 hidG2572, it isG2076 hidG2572 toG1722 them that are lostG622:
ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655+G3739, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}
InG1722 whomG3739 the godG2316 of thisG5127 worldG165 hath blindedG5186 the mindsG3540 of them which believe notG571, lestG1519+G3361 the lightG5462 of the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of GodG2316, should shineG826 unto themG846.
And he will destroyH1104 in this mountainH2022 the faceH6440 of the coveringH3875 cast overH3874 all peopleH5971, and the vailH4541 that is spreadH5259 over all nationsH1471. {destroy: Heb. swallow up} {cast: Heb. covered}
Let their eyesH5869 be darkenedH2821, that they seeH7200 not; and make their loinsH4975 continuallyH8548 to shakeH4571.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 art thouG1488, SimonG4613 BarjonaG920: forG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 hathG601 notG3756 revealedG601 it unto theeG4671, butG235 myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
ThenG1161 he tookG3880 unto him the twelveG1427, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, BeholdG2400, we go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 all thingsG3956 that are writtenG1125 byG1223 the prophetsG4396 concerning the SonG5207 of manG444 shall be accomplishedG5055.
ForG1063 he shall be deliveredG3860 unto the GentilesG1484, andG2532 shall be mockedG1702, andG2532 spitefully entreatedG5195, andG2532 spitted onG1716:
AndG2532 they shall scourgeG3146 him, and putG615 himG846 to deathG615: andG2532 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 he shall rise againG450.
AndG2532 theyG846 understoodG4920 noneG3762 of these thingsG5130: andG2532 thisG5124 sayingG4487 wasG2258 hidG2928 fromG575 themG846+G2532, neitherG3756 knew theyG1097 the things which were spokenG3004.
Let favour be shewedH2603 to the wickedH7563, yet will he notH1077 learnH3925 righteousnessH6664: in the landH776 of uprightnessH5229 will he deal unjustlyH5765, and will notH1077 beholdH7200 the majestyH1348 of the LORDH3068.
LORDH3068, when thy handH3027 is lifted upH7311, they will not seeH2372: but they shall seeH2372, and be ashamedH954 for their envyH7068 at the peopleH5971; yea, the fireH784 of thine enemiesH6862 shall devourH398 them. {at…: or, toward thy people}
LORDH3068, thou wilt ordainH8239 peaceH7965 for us: for thou also hast wroughtH6466 all our worksH4639 in us. {in us: or, for us}
ThenG2532 heG846 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, OG5599 foolsG453, andG2532 slowG1021 of heartG2588 to believeG4100+G1909 allG3956 thatG3739 the prophetsG4396 have spokenG2980:
OughtG1163 notG3780 ChristG5547 to have sufferedG3958 these thingsG5023, andG2532 to enterG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 gloryG1391?
AndG2532 beginningG756 atG575 MosesG3475 andG2532+G575 allG3956 the prophetsG4396, he expoundedG1329 unto themG846 inG1722 allG3956 the scripturesG1124 the things concerningG4012 himselfG1438.
HearH8085, ye deafH2795; and lookH5027, ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200.
Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999, and blindH5787 as the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650?
SeeingH7200+H7200 many thingsH7227, but thou observestH8104 not; openingH6491 the earsH241, but he hearethH8085 not.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto themG846, TheseG3778 are the wordsG3056 whichG3739 I spakeG2980 untoG4314 youG5209, whileG5607 I was yetG2089 withG4862 youG5213, thatG3754 all thingsG3956 mustG1163 be fulfilledG4137, whichG3588 were writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, andG2532 in the prophetsG4396, andG2532 in the psalmsG5568, concerningG4012 meG1700.
ThenG5119 opened heG1272 theirG846 understandingG3563, that they might understandG4920 the scripturesG1124,
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, ThusG3754+G3779 it is writtenG1125, andG2532 thusG3779 it behovedG1163 ChristG5547 to sufferG3958, andG2532 to riseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498 the thirdG5154 dayG2250:
They have not knownH3045 nor understoodH995: for he hath shutH2902 their eyesH5869, that they cannot seeH7200; and their heartsH3826, that they cannot understandH7919. {shut: Heb. daubed}
ThenG3767 spakeG2980 JesusG2424 againG3825 unto themG846, sayingG3004, IG1473 amG1510 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889: he that followethG190 meG1698 shallG4043 notG3364 walkG4043 inG1722 darknessG4653, butG235 shall haveG2192 the lightG5457 of lifeG2222.
His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
IG1473 am comeG2064 a lightG5457 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG3363 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 shouldG3306 notG3363 abideG3306 inG1722 darknessG4653.
We gropeH1659 for the wallH7023 like the blindH5787, and we gropeH1659 as if we had no eyesH5869: we stumbleH3782 at noondayH6672 as in the nightH5399; we are in desolateH820 places as deadH4191 men.
AndG2532 a certainG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070, a seller of purpleG4211, of the cityG4172 of ThyatiraG2363, which worshippedG4576 GodG2316, heardG191 us: whoseG3739 heartG2588 the LordG2962 openedG1272, that she attendedG4337 unto the things which were spokenG2980 ofG5259 PaulG3972.
HearH8085 now this, O foolishH5530 peopleH5971, and without understandingH3820; which have eyesH5869, and seeH7200 not; which have earsH241, and hearH8085 not: {understanding: Heb. heart}
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
SonH1121 of manH120, thou dwellestH3427 in the midstH8432 of a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, which have eyesH5869 to seeH7200, and seeH7200 not; they have earsH241 to hearH8085, and hearH8085 not: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
ButG1161 ifG1437 thineG4675 eyeG3788 beG5600 evilG4190, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG2071 full of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thereforeG3767 the lightG5457 that isG2076 inG1722 theeG4671 be darknessG4655, how greatG4214 is that darknessG4655!
He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 speak IG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 they seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920.
AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG4394 of EsaiasG2268, whichG3588 saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG1492 notG3364 perceiveG1492:
ForG1063 thisG5127 people'sG2992 heartG2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036, ForG1519 judgmentG2917 IG1473 am comeG2064 intoG1519 thisG5126 worldG2889, thatG2443 they which seeG991 notG3361 might seeG991; andG2532 that they which seeG991 might be madeG1096 blindG5185.
AndG2532 some ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330 whichG3588 wereG5607 withG3326 himG846 heardG191 these wordsG5023, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, AreG3361+G2070 weG2249 blindG5185 alsoG2532?
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, IfG1487 ye wereG2258 blindG5185, ye shouldG302 haveG2192 noG3756 sinG266: butG1161 nowG3568 ye sayG3004+G3754, We seeG991; thereforeG3767 yourG5216 sinG266 remainethG3306.
He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; thatG3363 they shouldG1492 notG3363 seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, norG2532 understandG3539 with their heartG2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
SayingG3004, GoG4198 untoG4314 thisG5126 peopleG2992, andG2532 sayG2036, HearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 notG3364 perceiveG1492:
ForG1063 the heartG2588 of thisG5127 peopleG2992 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 have they closedG2576; lestG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
