2 Corinthians 3
1 be first again themself to commend (or *N(k)O*) not to need as/when one recommended epistle to/with you or out from you (recommended *k*)
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or are we like some who need letters of commendation to you, or from you?
2 the/this/who epistle me you to be to write in in/on/among the/this/who heart me to know and to read by/under: by all a human
You yourselves are our letter – a letter written on our hearts, and one which everybody can read and understand.
3 to reveal that/since: that to be epistle Christ to serve by/under: by me to write in no ink but spirit/breath: spirit God to live no in/on/among tablet stone but in/on/among tablet (heart *N(K)O*) fleshly
All can see that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, a letter written, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.
4 confidence then such as this to have/be through/because of the/this/who Christ to/with the/this/who God
This, then, is the confidence in regard to God that we have gained through the Christ.
5 no that/since: since away from themself sufficient to be to count one as/when out from (themself *NK(O)*) but the/this/who sufficiency me out from the/this/who God
I do not mean that we are fit to form any judgment by ourselves, as if on our own authority;
6 which and to qualify me servant new covenant no something written but spirit/breath: spirit the/this/who for something written to kill the/this/who then spirit/breath: spirit to make alive
our fitness comes from God, who himself made us fit to be assistants of a new covenant, of which the substance is, not a written Law, but a Spirit. For the written Law means death, but the Spirit gives life.
7 if then the/this/who service the/this/who death in/on/among (something written *NK(o)*) to engrave (in/on/among *k*) stone to be in/on/among glory so not be able to gaze the/this/who son Israel toward the/this/who face Moses through/because of the/this/who glory the/this/who face it/s/he the/this/who to abate
If the system of religion which involved death, embodied in a written Law and engraved on stones, began amid such glory, that the Israelites were unable to gaze at the face of Moses because of its glory, though it was but a passing glory,
8 how! not! more the/this/who service the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit to be in/on/among glory
will not the religion that confers the Spirit have still greater glory?
9 if for (the/this/who *N(k)O*) service the/this/who condemnation glory much more to exceed the/this/who service the/this/who righteousness (in/on/among *k*) glory
For, if there was a glory in the religion that involved condemnation, far greater is the glory of the religion that confers righteousness!
10 and for (no *N(k)O*) to glorify the/this/who to glorify in/on/among this/he/she/it the/this/who part because of the/this/who to surpass glory
Indeed, that which then had glory has lost its glory, because of the glory which surpasses it.
11 if for the/this/who to abate through/because of glory much more the/this/who to stay in/on/among glory
And, if that which was to pass away was attended with glory, far more will that which is to endure be surrounded with glory!
12 to have/be therefore/then such as this hope much boldness to use
With such a hope as this, we speak with all plainness;
13 and no just as Moses to place veil upon/to/against the/this/who face (it/s/he *N(k)O*) to/with the/this/who not to gaze the/this/who son Israel toward the/this/who goal/tax the/this/who to abate
unlike Moses, who covered his face with a veil, to prevent the Israelites from gazing at the disappearance of what was passing away.
14 but to harden the/this/who mind/thought it/s/he until for the/this/who today (day *no*) the/this/who it/s/he veil upon/to/against the/this/who reading the/this/who old covenant to stay not to unveil (that/since: since *N(k)O*) in/on/among Christ to abate
But their minds were slow to learn. Indeed, to this very day, at the public reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; only for those who are in union with Christ does it pass away.
15 but until today when (if *no*) (to read *N(k)O*) Moses veil upon/to/against the/this/who heart it/s/he to lay/be appointed
But, even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies on their hearts.
16 when then (if *N(k)O*) to turn to/with lord: God to take away the/this/who veil
Yet, whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
17 the/this/who then lord: God the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit to be whither then the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit lord: God (there *k*) freedom
And the Lord is the Spirit, and, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18 me then all to unveil face the/this/who glory lord: God to reflect the/this/who it/s/he image to transform away from glory toward glory just as away from lord: God spirit/breath: spirit
And all of us, with faces from which the veil is lifted, seeing, as if reflected in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness, from glory to glory, as it is given by the Lord, the Spirit.
