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 ♥ 📝 being made^G3754 manifest^G5319 that ye are^G2075 an 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 tables^G4109 [that are] hearts^G2588 of flesh.^G4560

4 ♥ 📝 And^G1161 such^G5108 confidence^G4006 have we^G2192 through^G1223 Christ^G5547 to^G4314 God-ward:^G2316

6 ♥ 📝 who^G3739 also^G2532 made^G2427 us^G2248 sufficient as ministers^G1249 of a new^G2537 covenant;^G1242 not^G3756 of the letter,^G1121 but^G235 of the spirit:^G4151 for^G1063 the letter^G1121 killeth,^G615 but^G1161 the spirit^G4151 giveth life.^G2227

7 ♥ 📝 But^G1161 if^G1487 the ministration^G1248 of death,^G1722 written,^G1121 [and] engraven^G1795 on^G1722 stones,^G3037 came^G1096 with^G1722 glory,^G1391 so that^G5620 the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474 could^G1410 not^G3361 look^G816 stedfastly upon^G1519 the face^G4383 of Moses^G3475 for^G1223 the glory^G1391 of his^G846 face;^G4383 which^G3588 [glory] was passing away:^G2673

9 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 if^G1487 the ministration^G1248 of condemnation^G2633 hath glory,^G1391 much^G4183 rather^G3123 doth^G4052 the ministration^G1248 of righteousness^G1343 exceed^G4052 in^G1722 glory.^G1391

10 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 verily^G2532 that which^G3588 hath been made glorious^G1392 hath^G1392 not^G3761 been made glorious^G1392 in^G1722 this^G5129 respect,^G3313 by reason of^G1752 the glory^G1391 that^G3588 surpasseth.^G5235

11 ♥ 📝 For^G1063 if^G1487 that which^G3588 passeth away^G2673 [was]^G1223 with glory,^G1391 much^G4183 more^G3123 that which^G3588 remaineth^G3306 [is]^G1722 in glory.^G1391

12 ♥ 📝 Having^G2192 therefore^G3767 such^G5108 a hope,^G1680 we use^G5530 great^G4183 boldness of speech,^G3954

14 ♥ 📝 but^G235 their^G846 minds^G3540 were hardened:^G4456 for^G1063 until^G891 this very day^G4594 at the reading^G320 of the old^G3820 covenant^G1242 the same^G846 veil^G2571 remaineth,^G3306 it not being^G1909 revealed^G343 to them that it^G3739 is^G5100 done away^G2673 in^G1722 Christ.^G5547

15 ♥ 📝 But^G235 unto^G2193 this day,^G4594 whensoever^G2259 Moses^G3475 is read,^G314 a veil^G2571 lieth^G2749 upon^G1909 their^G846 heart.^G2588

16 ♥ 📝 But^G1161 whensoever^G2259 it^G302 shall turn^G1994 to^G4314 the Lord,^G2962 the veil^G2571 is taken away.^G4014

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

18 ♥ 📝 But^G1161 we^G2249 all,^G3956 with^G4383 unveiled^G343 face^G4383 beholding as in a mirror^G2734 the glory^G1391 of the Lord,^G2962 are transformed^G3339 into the same^G846 image^G1504 from^G575 glory^G1391 to^G1519 glory,^G1391 even as^G2509 from^G575 the Lord^G2962 the Spirit.^G4151
