2nd Corinthians 第 3 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

Do we begin <G0756> <G5731> again <G3825> to commend <G4921> <G5721> ourselves <G1438>? or need we <G5535> <G5719>, <G1508> as <G5613> some <G5100> [others], epistles <G1992> of commendation <G4956> to <G4314> you <G5209>, or <G2228> [letters] of commendation <G4956> from <G1537> you <G5216>?

2

Ye <G5210> are <G2075> <G5748> our <G2257> epistle <G1992> written <G1449> <G5772> in <G1722> our <G2257> hearts <G2588>, known <G1097> <G5746> and <G2532> read <G0314> <G5746> of <G5259> all <G3956> men <G0444>:

3

[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared <G5319> <G5746> to <G3754> be <G2075> <G5748> the epistle <G1992> of Christ <G5547> ministered <G1247> <G5685> by <G5259> us <G2257>, written <G1449> <G5772> not <G3756> with ink <G3188>, but <G0235> with the Spirit <G4151> of the living <G2198> <G5723> God <G2316>; not <G3756> in <G1722> tables <G4109> of stone <G3035>, but <G0235> in <G1722> fleshy <G4560> tables <G4109> of the heart <G2588>.

4

And <G1161> such <G5108> trust <G4006> have we <G2192> <G5719> through <G1223> Christ <G5547> to <G4314> God-ward <G2316>:

5

Not <G3756> that <G3754> we are <G2070> <G5748> sufficient <G2425> of <G0575> ourselves <G1438> to think <G3049> <G5664> any thing <G5100> as <G5613> of <G1537> ourselves <G1438>; but <G0235> our <G2257> sufficiency <G2426> [is] of <G1537> God <G2316>;

6

Who <G3739> also <G2532> hath made <G2427> <G0000> us <G2248> able <G2427> <G5656> ministers <G1249> of the new <G2537> testament <G1242>; not <G3756> of the letter <G1121>, but <G0235> of the spirit <G4151>: for <G1063> the letter <G1121> killeth <G0615> <G5719>, but <G1161> the spirit <G4151> giveth life <G2227> <G5719>.

7

But <G1161> if <G1487> the ministration <G1248> of death <G2288>, written <G1722> <G1121> [and] engraven <G1795> <G5772> in <G1722> stones <G3037>, was <G1096> <G5675> glorious <G1722> <G1391>, so <G5620> that the children <G5207> of Israel <G2474> could <G1410> <G5738> not <G3361> stedfastly behold <G0816> <G5658> the face <G1519> <G4383> of Moses <G3475> for <G1223> the glory <G1391> of his <G0846> countenance <G4383>; which <G3588> [glory] was to be done away <G2673> <G5746>:

8

How <G4459> shall <G1248> <G0000> not <G3780> the ministration <G1248> of the spirit <G4151> be <G2071> <G5704> rather <G3123> <G1722> glorious <G1391>?

9

For <G1063> if <G1487> the ministration <G1248> of condemnation <G2633> [be] glory <G1391>, much <G4183> more <G3123> doth the ministration <G1248> of righteousness <G1343> exceed <G4052> <G5719> in <G1722> glory <G1391>.

10

For <G1063> even <G2532> that which was made glorious <G1392> <G5769> had no <G3761> glory <G1392> <G5772> in <G1722> this <G5129> respect <G3313>, by reason <G1752> of the glory <G1391> that excelleth <G5235> <G5723>.

11

For <G1063> if <G1487> that which is done away <G2673> <G5746> [was] glorious <G1223> <G1391>, much <G4183> more <G3123> that which remaineth <G3306> <G5723> [is] glorious <G1722> <G1391>.

12

Seeing then <G3767> that we have <G2192> <G5723> such <G5108> hope <G1680>, we use <G5530> <G5736> great <G4183> plainness of speech <G3954>:

13

And <G2532> not <G3756> as <G2509> Moses <G3475>, [which] put <G5087> <G5707> a vail <G2571> over <G1909> his <G1438> face <G4383>, that <G4314> the children <G5207> of Israel <G2474> could <G0816> <G0000> not <G3361> stedfastly look <G0816> <G5658> to <G1519> the end <G5056> of that which is abolished <G2673> <G5746>:

14

But <G0235> their <G0846> minds <G3540> were blinded <G4456> <G5681>: for <G1063> until <G0891> this day <G4594> remaineth <G3306> <G5719> the same <G0846> vail <G2571> untaken <G3361> away <G0343> <G5746> in <G1909> the reading <G0320> of the old <G3820> testament <G1242>; which <G3748> [vail] is done away <G2673> <G5743> in <G1722> Christ <G5547>.

15

But <G0235> even <G2193> unto this day <G4594>, when <G2259> Moses <G3475> is read <G0314> <G5743>, the vail <G2571> is upon <G2749> <G5736> <G1909> their <G0846> heart <G2588>.

16

Nevertheless <G1161> when <G2259> it <G0302> shall turn <G1994> <G5661> to <G4314> the Lord <G2962>, the vail <G2571> shall be taken away <G4014> <G5743>.

17

Now <G1161> the Lord <G2962> is <G2076> <G5748> that Spirit <G4151>: and <G1161> where <G3757> the Spirit <G4151> of the Lord <G2962> [is], there <G1563> [is] liberty <G1657>.

18

But <G1161> we <G2249> all <G3956>, with open <G0343> <G5772> face <G4383> beholding as in a glass <G2734> <G5734> the glory <G1391> of the Lord <G2962>, are changed <G3339> <G5743> into the same <G0846> image <G1504> from <G0575> glory <G1391> to <G1519> glory <G1391>, [even] as <G2509> by <G0575> the Spirit <G4151> of the Lord <G2962>.
