| [3]Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declaredG5319[G5746] toG3754 beG2075[G5748] the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247[G5685] byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449[G5772] notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198[G5723] GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588. |

| [4]AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192[G5719] throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-wardG2316: |
[No book] |
| [5]NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070[G5748] sufficientG2425 ofG575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049[G5664] any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselvesG1438; butG235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 is ofG1537 GodG2316; |
[No book] |
| [6]WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427[G5656] ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615[G5719], butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227.[G5719] |

| [7]ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722[G1121] and engravenG1795[G5772] inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096[G5675] gloriousG1722[G1391], soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410[G5738] notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816[G5658] the faceG1519[G4383] of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:[G5746] |

| [8]HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071[G5704] ratherG3123[G1722] gloriousG1391? |
[No book] |
| [9]ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052[G5719] inG1722 gloryG1391. |
[No book] |
| [10]ForG1063 evenG2532 that which was made gloriousG1392[G5769] had noG3761 gloryG1392[G5772] inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reasonG1752 of the gloryG1391 that excellethG5235.[G5723] |

| [11]ForG1063 ifG1487 that which is done awayG2673[G5746] was gloriousG1223[G1391], muchG4183 moreG3123 that which remainethG3306[G5723] is gloriousG1722.[G1391] |
[No book] |
| [12]Seeing thenG3767 that we haveG2192[G5723] suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530[G5736] greatG4183 plainness of speechG3954: |
[No book] |
| [13]AndG2532 notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475, which putG5087[G5707] a vailG2571 overG1909 hisG1438 faceG4383, thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG816 notG3361 stedfastly lookG816[G5658] toG1519 the endG5056 of that which is abolishedG2673:[G5746] |

| [14]ButG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were blindedG4456[G5681]: forG1063 untilG891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306[G5719] the sameG846 vailG2571 untakenG3361 awayG343[G5746] inG1909 the readingG320 of the oldG3820 testamentG1242; whichG3748 vail is done awayG2673[G5743] inG1722 ChristG5547. |

| [15]ButG235 evenG2193 unto this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314[G5743], the vailG2571 is uponG2749[G5736][G1909] theirG846 heartG2588. |
[No book] |
| [16]NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994[G5661] toG4314 the LordG2962, the vailG2571 shall be taken awayG4014.[G5743] |
[No book] |
| [17]NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076[G5748] that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657. |
[No book] |
