Bible. Corinthians, 2nd
3:8. How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
3:9. For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the
ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
3:10. For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by
reason of the glory that excelleth.
3:11. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which
remaineth is in glory.
3:12. Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence.
3:13. 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.
3:14. 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).
3:15. But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon
their heart.
3:16. But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be
taken away.
3:17. Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
3:18. 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.
2 Corinthians Chapter 4
The sincerity of his preaching. His comfort in his afflictions.
4:1. Therefore seeing we have this ministration, according as we have
obtained mercy, we faint not.
4:2. But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness nor adulterating the word of God: but by manifestation of the
truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of
God.
4:3. And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost,
4:4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is
the image of God, should not shine unto them.
4:5. For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and
ourselves your servants through Jesus.
4:6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath
shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of
God, in the face of Christ Jesus.
4:7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency
may be of the power of God and not of us.
4:8. In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We
are straitened: but are not destitute.
4:9. We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but
we perish not.
4:10. Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that
the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.
4:11. For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake:
that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
4:12. So then death worketh in us: but life in you.
4:13. But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed,
