2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
Are we beginning again ourselves to commend? (Or *N+kO) surely not we need like some commendatory letters to you or from you (commendatory [letters]? *k)
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
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+KO) human.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from 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 made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives 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 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing 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 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
If for (to the *N+kO) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k) glory!
10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Even for (not *N+kO) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
and not as Moses was putting a veil over the face (of himself *N+kO) for not to look intently the sons of Israel into the end of that fading away;
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes 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+kO) in Christ is being removed,
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
But unto this day when (ever *no) (may be read *N+kO) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
When however (ever *N+kO) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k) [is] freedom.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
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.
