| 3:1 | Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? |
| 3:2 | Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: |
| 3:3 | Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the 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 fleshy tables of the heart. |
| 3:4 | And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: |
| 3:5 | Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; |
| 3:6 | Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. |
| 3:7 | But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: |
| 3:7 | 那用字刻在石頭上屬死的職事、尚且有榮光、甚至以色列人因摩西面上的榮光、不能定睛看他的臉．這榮光原是漸漸退去的． |
| 3:7 | 那用字刻在石头上属死的职事，尚且有荣光，甚至以色列人因摩西面上的荣光，不能定睛看他的脸。这荣光原是渐渐退去的。 |
| exo:34:1 | And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. |
| deu:10:1 | At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. |
| deu:10:2 | And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. |
| deu:10:3 | And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. |
| exo:34:29 | And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. |
| exo:34:30 | And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. |
| exo:34:35 | And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him. |

| 3:8 | How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? |
| 3:9 | For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. |
| 3:10 | For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. |
| 3:11 | For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. |
| 3:12 | Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: |
| 3:13 | And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: |
| 3:14 | But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. |
| 3:15 | But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. |
| 3:16 | Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. |
| 3:17 | Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
| 3:18 | But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD. |
