vCNT
1 Do we begin anew to introduce ourselves? Or do we, as some, need letters of introduction to you, or from you?
2 You are our letters, having been inscribed in our hearts, being known and being read by all men,
3 being made manifest because you are Christ's letter, ministered to by us; having been inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living Yahweh; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of heart.
4 Now confidence such as this we have throughout the Anointed regarding Yahweh,
5 not because we are competent by ourselves to reckon anything as from of ourselves, but our competency is from Yahweh,
6 who also makes us competent servants of a new covenant; not of letter, but of Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.
7 And if the service of death in letters, being engraved in stones, had been produced with honor so that the sons of Israel were not able to gaze into the face of Moses, on account of the effulgence of his face (which is being left unemployed,)
8 how not shall the service of the Spirit still more be in honor?
9 For if in the service of condemnation there is honor, much more abundant is the service of righteousness in honor.
10 And that which had not been honored was being honored in this respect, on account of that surpassing honor.
11 If that which is being left unemployed is in a state of honor, much more in honor is that which remains.
12 Therefore having such expectations we use much openness,
13 and not as Moses placed a veil upon his face, for the sons of Israel not to gaze into the fulfillment of that which is being left unemployed.
14 Yet their minds were hardened; even to this day today the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, which not being uncovered is left unemployed in Christ.
15 Then until this day, whenever Moses is read a veil lies upon their hearts.
16 But when perhaps you should turn to the Prince, the veil is taken away.
17 Now the Prince is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Prince is, there is freedom.
18 And we all, with uncovered faces, are beholding as in a mirror the honor of the Prince. We are being transformed into that same image, from honor into honor, just as a Spirit from the Prince.
