Do we begin⁷⁵⁶ again³⁸²⁵ to commend⁴⁹²¹ ourselves¹⁴³⁸? or¹⁵⁰⁸ need we⁵⁵³⁵, as⁵⁶¹³ some⁵¹⁰⁰ others, epistles¹⁹⁹² of commendation⁴⁹⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹, or²²²⁸ letters of commendation⁴⁹⁵⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ you⁵²¹⁶?

Ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ our²²⁵⁷ epistle¹⁹⁹² written¹⁴⁴⁹ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ hearts²⁵⁸⁸, known¹⁰⁹⁷ and²⁵³² read³¹⁴ of⁵²⁵⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ men⁴⁴⁴:

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared⁵³¹⁹ to³⁷⁵⁴ be²⁰⁷⁵ the epistle¹⁹⁹² of Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷ ministered¹²⁴⁷ by⁵²⁵⁹ us²²⁵⁷, written¹⁴⁴⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ with ink³¹⁸⁸, but²³⁵ with the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of the living²¹⁹⁸ Elohim²³¹⁶; not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² tables⁴¹⁰⁹ of stone³⁰³⁵, but²³⁵ in¹⁷²² fleshy⁴⁵⁶⁰ tables⁴¹⁰⁹ of the heart²⁵⁸⁸.

And¹¹⁶¹ such⁵¹⁰⁸ trust⁴⁰⁰⁶ have we²¹⁹² through¹²²³ Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷ to⁴³¹⁴ Elohim²³¹⁶:

Not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ we are²⁰⁷⁰ sufficient²⁴²⁵ of⁵⁷⁵ ourselves¹⁴³⁸ to think³⁰⁴⁹ any thing⁵¹⁰⁰ as⁵⁶¹³ of¹⁵³⁷ ourselves¹⁴³⁸; but²³⁵ our²²⁵⁷ sufficiency²⁴²⁶ is of¹⁵³⁷ Elohim²³¹⁶;

Who³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² hath made²⁴²⁷ us²²⁴⁸ able²⁴²⁷ ministers¹²⁴⁹ of the new²⁵³⁷ testament¹²⁴²; not³⁷⁵⁶ of the letter¹¹²¹, but²³⁵ of the spirit⁴¹⁵¹: for¹⁰⁶³ the letter¹¹²¹ killeth⁶¹⁵, but¹¹⁶¹ the spirit⁴¹⁵¹ giveth life²²²⁷.

But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the ministration¹²⁴⁸ of death²²⁸⁸, written¹⁷²² and engraven¹⁷⁹⁵ in¹⁷²² stones³⁰³⁷, was¹⁰⁹⁶ glorious¹⁷²², so⁵⁶²⁰ that the children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴ could¹⁴¹⁰ not³³⁶¹ stedfastly behold⁸¹⁶ the face¹⁵¹⁹ of Moses³⁴⁷⁵ for¹²²³ the glory¹³⁹¹ of his⁸⁴⁶ countenance⁴³⁸³; which³⁵⁸⁸ glory was to be done away²⁶⁷³:

How⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall¹²⁴⁸ not³⁷⁸⁰ the ministration¹²⁴⁸ of the spirit⁴¹⁵¹ be²⁰⁷¹ rather³¹²³ glorious¹³⁹¹?

For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the ministration¹²⁴⁸ of condemnation²⁶³³ be glory¹³⁹¹, much⁴¹⁸³ more³¹²³ doth the ministration¹²⁴⁸ of righteousness¹³⁴³ exceed⁴⁰⁵² in¹⁷²² glory¹³⁹¹.

For¹⁰⁶³ even²⁵³² that which was made glorious¹³⁹² had no³⁷⁶¹ glory¹³⁹² in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ respect³³¹³, by reason¹⁷⁵² of the glory¹³⁹¹ that excelleth⁵²³⁵.

For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ that which is done away²⁶⁷³ was glorious¹²²³, much⁴¹⁸³ more³¹²³ that which remaineth³³⁰⁶ is glorious¹⁷²².

Seeing then³⁷⁶⁷ that we have²¹⁹² such⁵¹⁰⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰, we use⁵⁵³⁰ great⁴¹⁸³ plainness of speech³⁹⁵⁴:

And²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ as²⁵⁰⁹ Moses³⁴⁷⁵, which put⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vail²⁵⁷¹ over¹⁹⁰⁹ his¹⁴³⁸ face⁴³⁸³, that⁴³¹⁴ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴ could⁸¹⁶ not³³⁶¹ stedfastly look⁸¹⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ the end⁵⁰⁵⁶ of that which is abolished²⁶⁷³:

But²³⁵ their⁸⁴⁶ minds³⁵⁴⁰ were blinded⁴⁴⁵⁶: for¹⁰⁶³ until⁸⁹¹ this day⁴⁵⁹⁴ remaineth³³⁰⁶ the same⁸⁴⁶ vail²⁵⁷¹ untaken³³⁶¹ away³⁴³ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the reading³²⁰ of the old³⁸²⁰ testament¹²⁴²; which³⁷⁴⁸ vail is done away²⁶⁷³ in¹⁷²² Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷.

But²³⁵ even²¹⁹³ unto this day⁴⁵⁹⁴, when²²⁵⁹ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ is read³¹⁴, the vail²⁵⁷¹ is upon²⁷⁴⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ heart²⁵⁸⁸.

Nevertheless¹¹⁶¹ when²²⁵⁹ it³⁰² shall turn¹⁹⁹⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ Yahweh²⁹⁶², the vail²⁵⁷¹ shall be taken away⁴⁰¹⁴.

Now¹¹⁶¹ Yahweh²⁹⁶² is²⁰⁷⁶ that Spirit⁴¹⁵¹: and¹¹⁶¹ where³⁷⁵⁷ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶² is, there¹⁵⁶³ is liberty¹⁶⁵⁷.

But¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶, with open³⁴³ face⁴³⁸³ beholding as in a glass²⁷³⁴ the glory¹³⁹¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶², are changed³³³⁹ into the same⁸⁴⁶ image¹⁵⁰⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ glory¹³⁹¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ glory¹³⁹¹, even as²⁵⁰⁹ by⁵⁷⁵ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶².
