2 Corinthians 3
Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
3 Are we beginning archō to recommend synistēmi ourselves heautou again palin? We do not mē need chrēzō, as hōs some tis do, letters epistolē of recommendation systatikos to pros you hymeis or ē from ek you hymeis, do we? 2 You eimi yourselves hymeis are eimi · ho our hēmeis letter epistolē, written engraphō on en · ho our hēmeis hearts kardia, known ginōskō and kai read anaginōskō by hypo all pas people anthrōpos; 3 making known phaneroō that hoti you are eimi a letter epistolē of Christ Christos, delivered diakoneō by hypo us hēmeis, written engraphō not ou in ink melas but alla by the Spirit pneuma of the living zaō God theos, not ou on en tablets plax of stone lithinos but alla on en tablets plax of human sarkinos hearts kardia. 4 Such toioutos is the confidence pepoithēsis · de we have echō through dia · ho Christ Christos toward pros · ho God theos. 5 Not ou that hoti we are eimi adequate hikanos in apo ourselves heautou to consider logizomai anything tis as hōs coming from ek us heautou, but alla · ho our hēmeis adequacy hikanotēs comes from ek · ho God theos, 6 who hos indeed kai made us hēmeis adequate hikanoō as servants diakonos of a new kainos covenant diathēkē, based not ou on the letter gramma but alla on the Spirit pneuma; for gar the ho letter gramma kills apokteinō, but de the ho Spirit pneuma imparts life zōiopoieō.
7 Now de if ei the ho ministry diakonia of ho death thanatos, engraved entypoō in en letters gramma on stones lithos, came ginomai with en such glory doxa that hōste the ho Israelites hyios were unable mē to gaze steadily atenizō into eis the ho face prosōpon of Moses Mōysēs due dia to the ho glory doxa of ho his autos face prosōpon, fading as it ho was katargeō, 8 how pōs much more mallon glorious en will be eimi the ho ministry diakonia of the ho Spirit pneuma? 9 For gar if ei there was glory doxa in the ho ministry diakonia of ho condemnation katakrisis, how much polys more mallon will the ho ministry diakonia of ho righteousness dikaiosynē exceed perisseuō it in glory doxa! 10 For gar indeed kai, what ho had been glorious doxazō, in en this houtos case meros has no ou glory doxazō · ho because heineken of the ho glory doxa that surpasses hyperballō it. 11 For gar if ei what ho was fading away katargeō came with dia glory doxa, how much polys more mallon will that ho which is permanent menō be filled with en glory doxa.
12 Therefore oun since we have echō such toioutos a hope elpis, we behave chraomai with great polys boldness parrēsia, 13 and kai not ou like kathaper Moses Mōysēs who used to put tithēmi a veil kalymma over epi · ho his autos face prosōpon so that pros the ho sons hyios of Israel Israēl would not mē gaze atenizō at eis the ho end telos of ho what was fading katargeō away . 14 But alla their autos minds noēma were closed pōroō. · ho For gar until achri the ho present sēmeron day hēmera the ho same autos veil kalymma remains menō at epi the ho reading anagnōsis of the ho old palaios covenant diathēkē. Since the veil is not mē removed anakalyptō, it is clear that hoti only in en Christ Christos is it taken away katargeō. 15 But alla until heōs today sēmeron, whenever hēnika an Moses Mōysēs is being read anaginōskō, a veil kalymma lies keimai over epi · ho their autos heart kardia; 16 yet de whenever hēnika one turns epistrephō to pros the Lord kyrios, the ho veil kalymma is removed periaireō. 17 Now de the ho Lord kyrios is eimi the ho Spirit pneuma, and de where hou the ho Spirit pneuma of the Lord kyrios is, there is freedom eleutheria. 18 And de we hēmeis all pas, with unveiled anakalyptō faces prosōpon, beholding as in a mirror katoptrizō the ho glory doxa of the Lord kyrios, are being transformed into metamorphoō the ho same autos image eikōn from apo one degree of glory doxa to eis another doxa, just kathaper as from apo the Lord kyrios, who is the Spirit pneuma.

Ministers of the New Covenant
3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Surely we do not need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we?(A) 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by all, 3 and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets that are human hearts.[a](B)
4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are qualified of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our qualification is from God,(C) 6 who has made us qualified to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.(D)
7 Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stone tablets,[b] came in glory so that the people of Israel could not gaze at Moses’s face because of the glory of his face, a glory now set aside,(E) 8 how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory? 9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation,[c] much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory!(F) 10 Indeed, what once had glory has in this respect lost its glory because of the greater glory, 11 for if what was set aside came through glory, much more has the permanent come in glory!
12 Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with complete frankness,(G) 13 not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that[d] was being set aside.(H) 14 But their minds were hardened. Indeed, to this very day, when they hear the reading of the old covenant, the same veil is still there; it is not unveiled since in Christ it is set aside.(I) 15 Indeed, to this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their minds,[e] 16 but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.(J) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.(K) 18 And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.(L)
