| 2nd-Corinthians 3:1 | Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you? | Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you? | Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some, commendatory letters to you, or [commendatory] from you? | Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you? |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:2 | Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men; | Our letter of recommendation is yourselves a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read. | *Ye* are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read of all men, | You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men: |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:3 | being made manifest that ye are an 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 tables [that are] hearts of flesh. | For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets. | being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but [the] Spirit of [the] living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of [the] heart. | Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:4 | And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward: | Such is the confidence which we have through Christ in the presence of God; | And such confidence have we through the Christ towards God: | And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:5 | not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; | not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God. | not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency [is] of God; | Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:6 | who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. | It is He also who has made us competent to serve Him in connexion with a new Covenant, which is not a written code but a Spirit; for the written code inflicts death, but the Spirit gives Life. | who has also made us competent, [as] ministers of [the] new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens. | Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:7 | But if the ministration of death, written, [and] engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which [glory] was passing away: | If, however, the service that proclaims death its code being engraved in writing upon stones came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily on the face of Moses because of the brightness of his face a vanishing brightness; | (But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, [a glory] which is annulled; | Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void: |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:8 | how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory? | will not the service of the Spirit be far more glorious? | how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory? | How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory? |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:9 | For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. | For if the service which pronounces doom had glory, far more glorious still is the service which tells of righteousness. | For if the ministry of condemnation [be] glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory. | For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:10 | For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth. | For, in fact, that which was once resplendent in glory has no glory at all in this respect, that it pales before the glory which surpasses it. | For also that [which was] glorified is not glorified in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory. | For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:11 | For if that which passeth away [was] with glory, much more that which remaineth [is] in glory. | For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory. | For if that annulled [was introduced] with glory, much rather that which abides [subsists] in glory. | For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:12 | Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, | Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses, | Having therefore such hope, we use much boldness: | Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence: |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:13 | and [are] not as Moses, [who] put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away: | who used to throw a veil over his face to hide from the gaze of the children of Israel the passing away of what was but transitory. | and not according as Moses put a veil on his own face, so that the children of Israel should not fix their eyes on the end of that annulled. | And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:14 | but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed [to them] that it is done away in Christ. | Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day during the reading of the book of the ancient Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because it is only in Christ that it is to be abolished. | But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled. | But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void). |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:15 | But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart. | Yes, to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their hearts. | But unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart. | But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:16 | But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. | But whenever the heart of the nation shall have returned to the Lord, the veil will be withdrawn. | But when it shall turn to [the] Lord, the veil is taken away.) | But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:17 | Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty. | Now by "the Lord" is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed. | Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of [the] Lord [is, there is] liberty. | Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:18 | But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. | And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit. | But *we* all, looking on the glory of the Lord, with unveiled face, are transformed according to the same image from glory to glory, even as by [the] Lord [the] Spirit. | But we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord. |
