Are we beginning again ourselves to commend? (Or *N(k)O*) surely not we need like some commendatory letters to you or from you (commendatory [letters]? *k*)
The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,

being revealed that you are a letter of Christ having been ministered to by us inscribed not in ink but with [the] Spirit of God [the] living, not on tablets of stone but on tablets (of hearts *N(K)O*) human.
Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;

Not for from ourselves sufficient we are to reckon anything as of (ourselves, *NK(O)*) but the sufficiency of us [is] of God,

who also has made competent us [as] ministers of a new covenant, not of [the] letter but of [the] Spirit; the for letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

If now the ministry of death in (letters *NK(o)*) engraved (in *k*) stones was produced in glory, so as for not to be able to look intently the sons of Israel into the face of Moses on account of the glory of the face of him which is fading,
how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
9 ⲑ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲁⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲱⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ.
If for (to the *N(k)O*) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k*) glory!
Even for (not *N(k)O*) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉϣⲁϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲗⲩⲙⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ.
and not as Moses was putting a veil over the face (of himself *N(k)O*) for not to look intently the sons of Israel into the end of that fading away;
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩ⳿ⲓ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲫⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲩⲙⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ϥⲭⲏ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲡⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲕⲱⲣϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.
But were hardened the minds of them. Until for the present (day *no*) the same veil at the reading of the old covenant remains not being lifted, (for *N(k)O*) in Christ is being removed,
But unto this day when (ever *no*) (may be read *N(k)O*) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
When however (ever *N(k)O*) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k*) [is] freedom.

We ourselves now all unveiled in face the glory of [the] Lord beholding as in a mirror, the same image are being transformed into from glory to glory even as from [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
