Mga Lingkod ng Bagong Tipan
3 Akala ba ninyo'y pinupuri na naman namin ang aming sarili? Kami ba'y tulad ng iba na nangangailangan pa ng rekomendasyon para sa inyo o mula sa inyo? 2 Kayo mismo ang aming sulat ng rekomendasyon. Nakasulat kayo sa aming puso upang makilala at mabasa ng lahat. 3 Ipinapakita ninyo na kayo ay sulat ni Cristo na ipinadala niya sa pamamagitan namin, hindi nakasulat sa tinta, kundi isinulat ng Espiritu ng Diyos na buháy, at hindi sa mga tapyas na bato kundi nakaukit sa puso ng mga tao.
4 Nasasabi namin ito dahil kami ay may pagtitiwala sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Cristo. 5 Kung sa aming sarili lamang ay wala kaming kakayahang gawin ito; subalit ang aming kakayahan ay kaloob ng Diyos. 6 Binigyan(A) niya kami ng kakayahang maging lingkod ng bagong tipan, isang kasunduang hindi ayon sa kautusang nakasulat kundi ayon sa Espiritu. Sapagkat ang kautusang nakasulat ay nagdudulot ng kamatayan, ngunit ang Espiritu'y nagbibigay-buhay.
7 Nang(B) ibigay ang Kautusang nakaukit sa mga tapyas ng bato, nahayag ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos, kaya nga hindi matingnan ng mga Israelita ang mukha ni Moises kahit na ang liwanag na iyon sa mukha niya ay pansamantala lamang. Kung ang paglilingkod na batay sa Kautusang nakaukit sa bato, at nagdadala ng kamatayan, ay dumating na may kalakip na gayong kaluwalhatian, 8 gaano pa kaya ang kaluwalhatian ng paglilingkod ayon sa Espiritu? 9 Kung may kaluwalhatian ang paglilingkod na nagdudulot ng hatol na kamatayan, lalo pang maluwalhati ang paglilingkod na nagdudulot ng pagpapawalang-sala. 10 Dahil dito, masasabi nating ang dating kaluwalhatian ay wala na, sapagkat napalitan na ito ng higit na maluwalhati. 11 Kung may kaluwalhatian ang lumilipas, lalong higit ang kaluwalhatian ng nananatili magpakailanman.
12 Dahil sa pag-asa naming iyan, malakas ang aming loob. 13 Hindi(C) kami tulad ni Moises na nagtalukbong ng mukha para hindi makita ng mga Israelita ang paglipas ng kaluwalhatiang iyon. 14 Ngunit naging matigas ang kanilang ulo kaya't hanggang ngayo'y nananatili ang talukbong na iyon habang binabasa nila ang lumang tipan. Maaalis lamang ang talukbong na iyon sa pakikipag-isa kay Cristo. 15 Hanggang ngayon, may talukbong pa ang kanilang isip tuwing binabasa nila ang mga aklat ni Moises. 16 Ngunit(D) kapag lumapit ang tao sa Panginoon, naaalis ang talukbong. 17 Ang Panginoong binabanggit dito ay ang Espiritu, at kung nasaan ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay mayroong kalayaan. 18 At ngayong naalis na ang talukbong, nagniningning sa ating mga mukha ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon. At ang kaluwalhatiang iyan na nagmumula sa Panginoon, na siyang Espiritu, ang siyang magbabago sa atin mula sa isang antas ng kaluwalhatian hanggang tayo'y maging kalarawan niya.

Ministers of a New Covenant
3 Are we beginning to (A)commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, (B)letters of commendation to you or from you? 2 (C)You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men, 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, (D)ministered to by us, having been written not with ink but with the Spirit of (E)the living God, not on (F)tablets of stone but on (G)tablets of hearts of (H)flesh.
4 And such (I)confidence we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but (J)our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as (K)ministers of a (L)new covenant, not of (M)the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but (N)the Spirit gives life.
7 But if the (O)ministry of death, (P)in letters having been engraved on stones, came [a]with glory, (Q)so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, which was being brought to an end, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more in glory? 9 For if (R)the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the (S)ministry of righteousness abound in glory. 10 For indeed what had been glorious, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if that which was being brought to an end was [b]with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12 (T)Therefore having such a hope, (U)we use great boldness, 13 and are not like Moses, (V)who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the consequence of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were (W)hardened; for until this very day at the (X)reading of (Y)the old covenant the same veil [c]remains unlifted, because it is brought to an end in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart, 16 but (Z)whenever a person turns to the [d]Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where (AA)the Spirit of the Lord is, (AB)there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, (AC)beholding as in a mirror the (AD)glory of the Lord, are being (AE)transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from (AF)the Lord, the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3
New International Version
3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves(A) again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation(B) to you or from you? 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.(C) 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,(D) not on tablets of stone(E) but on tablets of human hearts.(F)
4 Such confidence(G) we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves(H) to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.(I) 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant(J)—not of the letter(K) but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.(L)
The Greater Glory of the New Covenant
7 Now if the ministry that brought death,(M) which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory,(N) transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation(O) was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!(P) 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
12 Therefore, since we have such a hope,(Q) we are very bold.(R) 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face(S) to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull,(T) for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant(U) is read.(V) It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord,(W) the veil is taken away.(X) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit,(Y) and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.(Z) 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a](AA) the Lord’s glory,(AB) are being transformed into his image(AC) with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
