King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Do we begin[G756] again[G3825] to commend[G4921] ourselves?[G1438] or[G1508] need[G5535] we, as[G5613] some[G5100] others, epistles[G1992] of commendation[G4956] to[G4314] you,[G5209] or[G2228] letters of commendation[G4956] from[G1537] you?[G5216]

2. Ye[G5210] are[G2075] our[G2257] epistle[G1992] written[G1449] in[G1722] our[G2257] hearts,[G2588] known[G1097] and[G2532] read[G314] of[G5259] all[G3956] men: [G444]

3. Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared[G5319] to[G3754] be[G2075] the epistle[G1992] of Christ[G5547] ministered[G1247] by[G5259] us,[G2257] written[G1449] not[G3756] with ink,[G3188] but[G235] with the Spirit[G4151] of the living[G2198] God;[G2316] not[G3756] in[G1722] tables[G4109] of stone,[G3035] but[G235] in[G1722] fleshy[G4560] tables[G4109] of the heart.[G2588]

4. And[G1161] such[G5108] trust[G4006] have[G2192] we through[G1223] Christ[G5547] to[G4314] God-ward: [G2316]

5. Not[G3756] that[G3754] we are[G2070] sufficient[G2425] of[G575] ourselves[G1438] to think[G3049] any thing[G5100] as[G5613] of[G1537] ourselves;[G1438] but[G235] our[G2257] sufficiency[G2426] is of[G1537] God;[G2316]

6. Who[G3739] also[G2532] hath made us able[G2427] [G2248] ministers[G1249] of the new[G2537] testament;[G1242] not[G3756] of the letter,[G1121] but[G235] of the spirit:[G4151] for[G1063] the[G3588] letter[G1121] killeth,[G615] but[G1161] the[G3588] spirit[G4151] giveth life.[G2227]

7. But[G1161] if[G1487] the[G3588] ministration[G1248] of death,[G2288] written[G1722] [G1121] and engraven[G1795] in[G1722] stones,[G3037] was[G1096] glorious,[G1722] [G1391] so that[G5620] the[G3588] children[G5207] of Israel[G2474] could[G1410] not[G3361] steadfastly[G816] behold[G1519] the[G3588] face[G4383] of Moses[G3475] for[G1223] the[G3588] glory[G1391] of his[G846] countenance;[G4383] which glory was to be done away: [G2673]

8. How[G4459] shall not[G3780] the[G3588] ministration[G1248] of the[G3588] spirit[G4151] be[G2071] rather[G3123] glorious?[G1722] [G1391]

9. For[G1063] if[G1487] the[G3588] ministration[G1248] of condemnation[G2633] be glory,[G1391] much[G4183] more[G3123] doth the[G3588] ministration[G1248] of righteousness[G1343] exceed[G4052] in[G1722] glory.[G1391]

10. For[G1063] even[G2532] that which was made glorious[G1392] had no glory[G1392] [G3761] in[G1722] this[G5129] respect,[G3313] by reason of[G1752] the[G3588] glory[G1391] that excelleth.[G5235]

11. For[G1063] if[G1487] that which is done away[G2673] was glorious,[G1223] [G1391] much[G4183] more[G3123] that which remaineth[G3306] is glorious.[G1722] [G1391]

12. Seeing then[G3767] that we have[G2192] such[G5108] hope,[G1680] we use[G5530] great[G4183] plainness of speech: [G3954]

13. And[G2532] not[G3756] as[G2509] Moses,[G3475] which put[G5087] a veil[G2571] over[G1909] his[G1438] face,[G4383] that the[G3588] children[G5207] of Israel[G2474] could not[G3361] steadfastly look[G816] to[G1519] the[G3588] end[G5056] of that which is abolished: [G2673]

14. But[G235] their[G846] minds[G3540] were blinded:[G4456] for[G1063] until[G891] this day[G4594] remaineth[G3306] the[G3588] same[G846] veil[G2571] untaken away[G343] [G3361] in[G1909] the[G3588] reading[G320] of the[G3588] old[G3820] testament;[G1242] which[G3748] veil is done away[G2673] in[G1722] Christ.[G5547]

15. But[G235] even unto[G2193] this day,[G4594] when[G2259] Moses[G3475] is read,[G314] the veil[G2571] is[G2749] upon[G1909] their[G846] heart.[G2588]

16. Nevertheless[G1161] when[G2259] [G302] it shall turn[G1994] to[G4314] the Lord,[G2962] the[G3588] veil[G2571] shall be taken away.[G4014]

17. Now[G1161] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] is[G2076] that Spirit:[G4151] and[G1161] where[G3757] the[G3588] Spirit[G4151] of the Lord[G2962] is, there[G1563] is liberty.[G1657]

18. But[G1161] we[G2249] all,[G3956] with open[G343] face[G4383] beholding as in a glass[G2734] the[G3588] glory[G1391] of the Lord,[G2962] are changed[G3339] into the[G3588] same[G846] image[G1504] from[G575] glory[G1391] to[G1519] glory,[G1391] even as[G2509] by[G575] the Spirit[G4151] of the Lord.[G2962]
