| 2nd-Corinthians 3:1 | 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? | Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you? | Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you? | Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation unto you, or from you? |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:2 | Our letter of recommendation is yourselves a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read. | Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men; | You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge; | our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:3 | 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 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 you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh. | manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:4 | Such is the confidence which we have through Christ in the presence of God; | And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward: | And this is the certain faith which we have in God through Christ: | and such trust we have through the Christ toward God, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:5 | not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God. | not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; | Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God; | not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:6 | 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 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. | Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life. | who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:7 | 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 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: | For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time: | and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face which was being made useless, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:8 | will not the service of the Spirit be far more glorious? | how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory? | Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory? | how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory? |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:9 | For if the service which pronounces doom had glory, far more glorious still is the service which tells of righteousness. | For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. | For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness? | for if the ministration of the condemnation [is] glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:10 | 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 verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth. | For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after. | for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious in this respect, because of the superior glory; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:11 | For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory. | For if that which passeth away [was] with glory, much more that which remaineth [is] in glory. | For if the order which was for a time had its glory, much more will the eternal order have its glory. | for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:12 | Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses, | Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, | Having then such a hope, we keep nothing back, | Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:13 | 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 [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: | And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face, so that the children of Israel might not see clearly to the end of the present order of things: | and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:14 | 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 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. | But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ. | but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn which in Christ is being made useless |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:15 | Yes, to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their hearts. | But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart. | But to this day, at the reading of the law of Moses, a veil is over their heart. | but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:16 | But whenever the heart of the nation shall have returned to the Lord, the veil will be withdrawn. | But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. | But when it is turned to the Lord, the veil will be taken away. | and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:17 | 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: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty. | Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there the heart is free. | And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 3:18 | 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, 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. | But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit. | and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. |
