Chapter 3.

00:02.400 --> 00:05.060
Do we begin again to commend ourselves?

00:05.700 --> 00:10.320
Or need we, as some others, epistles of
commendation to you, or letters of

00:10.320 --> 00:11.440
commendation from you?

00:12.120 --> 00:17.800
Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts,
known and read of all men.

00:18.780 --> 00:24.020
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to
be the epistle of Christ ministered by us,

00:24.480 --> 00:30.000
written not with ink, but with the spirit
of the living God, not in tables of stone,

00:30.600 --> 00:32.760
but in fleshy tables of the heart.

00:34.020 --> 00:39.120
And such trust have we through Christ to
Godward, not that we are sufficient of

00:39.120 --> 00:41.980
ourselves to think anything as of
ourselves.

00:42.560 --> 00:48.160
But our sufficiency is of God,
who also hath made us able ministers of

00:48.160 --> 00:51.600
the New Testament, not of the letter,
but of the spirit.

00:51.840 --> 00:55.020
For the letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life.

00:55.020 --> 00:59.860
But if the ministration of death,
written and engraven in stones,

01:00.200 --> 01:04.740
was glorious, so that the children of
Israel could not steadfastly behold the

01:04.740 --> 01:09.280
face of Moses for the glory of his
countenance, which glory was to be done

01:09.280 --> 01:09.620
away?

01:10.800 --> 01:14.300
How shall not the ministration of the
spirit be rather glorious?

01:15.020 --> 01:20.720
For if the ministration of condemnation be
glory, much more doth the ministration of

01:20.720 --> 01:22.780
righteousness exceed in glory.

01:24.000 --> 01:29.860
For even that which was made glorious had
no glory in this respect, by reason of the

01:29.860 --> 01:31.300
glory that excelleth.

01:32.040 --> 01:37.520
For if that which is done away was
glorious, much more that which remaineth

01:37.520 --> 01:38.280
is glorious.

01:39.240 --> 01:43.920
Seeing then that we have such hope,
we use great plainness of speech.

01:44.820 --> 01:49.680
And not as Moses, which put a veil over
his face, that the children of Israel

01:49.680 --> 01:53.260
could not steadfastly look to the end of
that which is abolished.

01:53.880 --> 01:55.920
But their minds were blinded.

01:56.260 --> 02:01.760
For until this day remaineth the same veil
untaken away in the reading of the Old

02:01.760 --> 02:02.220
Testament.

02:02.920 --> 02:05.260
Which veil is done away in Christ?

02:06.160 --> 02:10.760
But even unto this day, when Moses is
read, the veil is upon their heart.

02:11.260 --> 02:15.340
Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the
Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

02:15.960 --> 02:21.360
Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

02:22.000 --> 02:27.280
But we all with open face beholding,
as in a glass, the glory of the Lord,

02:27.460 --> 02:33.060
are changed into the same image,
from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit

02:33.060 --> 02:33.840
of the Lord.
