哥林多后书 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
活的推荐信
3 我们又开始推荐自己吗?难道我们像有些人那样,需要给你们推荐信,或向你们要推荐信吗? 2 你们就是我们的推荐信,写在我们的[a]心里,被人人所知道、所诵读; 3 因为很明显,你们是基督的书信,由我们所经手;不是用墨写的,而是用永生神的灵写的;不是刻在石版上,而是刻在人的[b]心版上。
因基督而有的能力
4 我们藉着基督,对神有这样的确信, 5 并不是说,我们凭自己配得上把什么算做出于自己;而是说,我们之所以配得上是出于神。 6 他也使我们能够做新约的仆人[c]——不属于律法条文,而属于圣灵;因为律法条文带来死亡,而圣灵却赐予生命。
新约的仆人
7 如果,那以条文刻在石版上、属死亡的服事工作尚且带有荣光——以致以色列子民因为摩西脸上那渐渐消失的荣光,不能注视他的脸—— 8 何况那属圣灵的服事工作,难道不更带有荣光吗? 9 因为那带来[d]定罪的服事工作尚且有荣光,何况那带来[e]称义的服事工作,难道不更充满了荣光吗? 10 事实上,在这种情况下,那先前有荣光的,因这无限的荣光,就成了没有荣光的。 11 这样,那渐渐消失的尚且带有荣光,何况这长存的,难道不更带有荣光吗?
12 因此,我们既然怀有这样的盼望,就大有胆量地行事。 13 我们不像摩西那样,他把帕子蒙在脸上,使以色列子民不能注视那渐渐消失的荣光的结局。 14 可是,他们的心思刚硬;事实上,直到今天诵读旧约的时候,同样的帕子仍然存在,没有被揭去,因为那帕子只有[f]在基督里才被除去。 15 的确,直到今天,摩西书无论什么时候被诵读,那帕子仍然盖在他们的心上。 16 可是一个人什么时候归向主,那帕子就被除掉了。 17 主就是圣灵,主的灵在哪里,哪里就有自由; 18 而且脸上的帕子既然被揭去了,我们大家就像镜子返照出[g]主的荣光,正在被改变成与主同样的形像,从荣耀归入荣耀,这正是出于主——圣灵。

门徒为保罗的荐书
3 我们岂是又举荐自己吗?岂像别人,用人的荐信给你们或用你们的荐信给人吗? 2 你们就是我们的荐信,写在我们的心里,被众人所知道所念诵的。 3 你们明显是基督的信,借着我们修成的:不是用墨写的,乃是用永生神的灵写的;不是写在石版上,乃是写在心版上。 4 我们因基督,所以在神面前才有这样的信心。 5 并不是我们凭自己能承担什么事,我们所能承担的,乃是出于神。 6 他叫我们能承当这新约的执事,不是凭着字句,乃是凭着精意;因为那字句是叫人死,精意[a]是叫人活。 7 那用字刻在石头上属死的职事尚且有荣光,甚至以色列人因摩西面上的荣光,不能定睛看他的脸,这荣光原是渐渐退去的; 8 何况那属灵的职事,岂不更有荣光吗? 9 若是定罪的职事有荣光,那称义的职事荣光就越发大了。 10 那从前有荣光的,因这极大的荣光就算不得有荣光了。 11 若那废掉的有荣光,这长存的就更有荣光了。
主的灵在哪里哪里就得以自由
12 我们既有这样的盼望,就大胆讲说, 13 不像摩西将帕子蒙在脸上,叫以色列人不能定睛看到那将废者的结局。 14 但他们的心地刚硬,直到今日诵读旧约的时候,这帕子还没有揭去;这帕子在基督里已经废去了。 15 然而直到今日,每逢诵读摩西书的时候,帕子还在他们心上。 16 但他们的心几时归向主,帕子就几时除去了。 17 主就是那灵,主的灵在哪里,哪里就得以自由。 18 我们众人既然敞着脸得以看见主的荣光,好像从镜子里返照,就变成主的形状,荣上加荣,如同从主的灵变成的。

保羅的薦信
3 難道我們又是在稱讚自己嗎?難道我們像別人一樣,需要拿著推薦信去見你們,或拿著你們的推薦信去見別人嗎? 2 你們自己就是我們的推薦信,寫在了我們心坎上,眾所周知,人人可讀。 3 顯然,你們是從基督而來的一封信,是我們工作的成果。這信不是用筆墨寫成的,乃是藉著永活上帝的靈寫成的;不是寫在石版上的,而是刻在心版上的。
4 我們靠著基督在上帝面前有這樣的確信。 5 我們並不認為自己能夠承擔什麼,我們能夠承擔全是靠上帝。 6 祂使我們能夠擔任新約的執事。這新約不是用律法條文立的,而是聖靈的工作,因為律法條文帶給人死亡,但聖靈賜給人生命。
新約的榮耀
7 這最終帶來死亡、刻在石版上的律法條文的事工尚且有榮耀,甚至使摩西的臉上發出榮光,儘管很快就消逝了,以色列人仍然無法定睛看他, 8 那麼聖靈的事工豈不更有榮耀嗎? 9 那定人罪的事工尚且有榮耀,這使人被稱為義人的事工豈不更有榮耀嗎? 10 其實先前的榮耀和現今的大榮耀相比,就黯然失色了。 11 那漸漸消逝的尚且有榮耀,這永遠長存的更是榮耀無比。
12 我們因為有這極大的盼望,就放膽無懼, 13 不像摩西將帕子蒙在臉上,以免以色列人看見那漸漸消逝的榮光。 14 但以色列人的心剛硬,直到今日,他們每逢讀舊約的時候,同樣的帕子還在那裡,沒有揭去。因為只有在基督裡,那帕子才能被除去。 15 時至今日,每逢他們讀摩西律法的時候,帕子仍然蒙在他們心上。 16 然而,他們一旦歸向基督,那帕子就被除去了。 17 主就是那靈,主的靈在哪裡,哪裡就有自由。 18 我們這些臉上不再蒙著帕子的人,可以像鏡子一樣反映主的榮光,漸漸變成主的樣式,榮上加榮。這都是主的作為,主就是那靈。
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.

2 Corinthians 3
King James Version
3 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
