^2 (A)You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; ³ clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ^(B)ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not ^(C)on tablets of stone but ^(D)on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding ^(A)as in a mirror ^(B)the glory of the Lord, ^(C)are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as ^[a]by the Spirit of the Lord.

⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written, ^(A)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
