Ministers of a New Covenant

(cf. Jer 31:31–34 )
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:2 - Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:4 - And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:5 - Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:8 - How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:9 - For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:10 - For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:11 - For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:12 - Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:15 - But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:16 - Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:17 - Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 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.
