2 Corinthians 3
1 Doe we begin to praise our selues againe? or neede we as some other, epistles of recommendation vnto you, or letters of recommendation from you?
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*)
2 Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men,
The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,
3 In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
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.
4 And such trust haue we through Christ to God:
Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;
5 Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,
Not for from ourselves sufficient we are to reckon anything as of (ourselves, *NK(O)*) but the sufficiency of us [is] of God,
6 Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life.
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.
7 If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.)
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,
8 Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
9 For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
If for (to the *N(k)O*) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k*) glory!
10 For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie.
Even for (not *N(k)O*) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
11 For if that which should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
12 Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach.
Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
13 And we are not as Moses, which put a vaile vpon his face, that the children of Israel should not looke vnto the ende of that which should be abolished.
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 Therefore their mindes are hardened: for vntill this day remaineth the same couering vntaken away in the reading of the olde Testament, which vaile in Christ is put away.
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,
15 But euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts.
But unto this day when (ever *no*) (may be read *N(k)O*) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
16 Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away.
When however (ever *N(k)O*) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
17 Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.
The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k*) [is] freedom.
18 But we al behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face, and are changed into the same image, from glorie to glorie, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
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.
