|  | Do we begin |  | again |  | ourselves |  | to commend? |  | unless |  | ♦ |  | we need, |  | as |  | some, |

commendatory |  | epistles |  | to |  | you, |  | or |  | from 3 |  | you 4 |  | commendatory 1 [ones]? 2 |  |

| 2 | η |  | επιστολη |  | ημων |  | υμεις |  | εστε |  | εγγεγραμμενη |  | εν |  | ταις |
|  | Our epistle |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | ye |  | are, |  | having been inscribed |  | in |  | our hearts, |

καρδιαις |  | ημων |  | γινωσκομενη |  | και |  | αναγινωσκομενη |  | υπο |  | παντων |

ανθρωπων |  |
men, |  |

| 3 | φανερουμενοι |  | οτι |  | εστε |  | επιστολη |  | χριστου |  | διακονηθεισα |  | υφ |  | ημων |
|  | being manifested |  | that |  | ye are |  | epistle 2 |  | Christ’s, 1 |  | ministered |  | by |  | us, |

εγγεγραμμενη |  | ου |  | μελανι |  | αλλα |  | πνευματι |  | θεου |  | ζωντος |
having been inscribed, |  | not with ink, |  | ♦ |  | but |  | with [the] Spirit |  | of God 3 |  | [the] 1 living; 2 |

ουκ |  | εν |  | πλαξιν |  | λιθιναις |  | αλλ |  | εν |  | πλαξιν |  | καρδιας |  | σαρκιναις |  |
not |  | on |  | tablets |  | of stone, |  | but |  | on |  | tablets 2 |  | of 3 [the] 4 heart 5 |  | fleshly. 1 |  |

| 4 | πεποιθησιν |  | δε |  | τοιαυτην |  | εχομεν |  | δια |  | του |  | χριστου |  | προς |  | τον |  | θεον |  |
|  | Confidence 7 |  | and 6 |  | such |  | we have |  | through |  | the |  | Christ |  | towards |  | ♦ |  | God: |  |

| 5 | ουχ |  | οτι |  | ικανοι |  | εσμεν |  | αφ |  | εαυτων |  | λογισασθαι |  | τι |  | ως |  | εξ |  | εαυτων |
|  | not |  | that |  | competent |  | we are |  | from |  | ourselves |  | to reckon |  | anything |  | as |  | of |  | ourselves, |

αλλ |  | η |  | ικανοτης |  | ημων |  | εκ |  | του |  | θεου |  |
but |  | our competency |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | [is] of |  | ♦ |  | God; |  |

| 6 | ος |  | και |  | ικανωσεν |  | ημας |  | διακονους |  | καινης |  | διαθηκης |  | ου |  | γραμματος |
|  | who |  | also |  | made competent 2 |  | us [as] 1 |  | servants |  | of a new |  | covenant; |  | not |  | of letter, |

αλλα |  | πνευματος |  | το |  | γαρ |  | γραμμα |  | αποκτεινει |  | το |  | δε |  | πνευμα |  | ζωοποιει |  |
but |  | of Spirit; |  | for the |  | ♦ |  | letter |  | kills, |  | but the |  | ♦ |  | Spirit |  | quickens. |  |

| 7 | ει |  | δε |  | η |  | διακονια |  | του |  | θανατου |  | εν |  | γραμμασιν |  | εντετυπωμενη |  | εν |
|  | But if |  | and |  | the |  | service |  | ♦ |  | of death |  | in |  | letters, |  | having been engraven |  | in |

λιθοις |  | εγενηθη |  | εν |  | δοξη |  | ωστε |  | μη |  | δυνασθαι |  | ατενισαι |
stones, |  | was produced |  | with |  | glory, |  | so as |  | not 5 to 6 be 7 able 8 |  | ♦ |  | to 9 look 10 intently 11 |

τους |  | υιους |  | ισραηλ |  | εις |  | το |  | προσωπον |  | μωσεως |  | δια |  | την |  | δοξαν |
the 1 |  | children 2 |  | of 3 Israel 4 |  | into |  | the |  | face |  | of Moses, |  | on account of |  | the |  | glory |

του |  | προσωπου |  | αυτου |  | την |  | καταργουμενην |  |
of his face, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | which |  | is being annulled; |  |

| 8 | πως |  | ουχι |  | μαλλον |  | η |  | διακονια |  | του |  | πνευματος |  | εσται |  | εν |  | δοξη |  |
|  | how |  | not |  | rather |  | the |  | service |  | of the |  | Spirit |  | shall be |  | in |  | glory? |  |

| 9 | ει |  | γαρ |  | η |  | διακονια |  | της |  | κατακρισεως |  | δοξα |  | πολλω |  | μαλλον |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | the |  | service |  | ♦ |  | of condemnation [be] |  | glory, |  | much |  | rather |

περισσευει |  | η |  | διακονια |  | της |  | δικαιοσυνης |  | εν |  | δοξη |  |
abounds |  | the |  | service |  | ♦ |  | of righteousness |  | in |  | glory. |  |

| 10 | και |  | γαρ |  | ουδε |  | δεδοξασται |  | το |
|  | For even |  | ♦ |  | neither |  | has 7 been 8 made 9 glorious [1~0] |  | that 1 which 2 |

δεδοξασμενον |  | εν |  | τουτω |  | τω |  | μερει |  | ενεκεν |  | της |
having 3 been 4 made 5 glorious 6 |  | in |  | this |  | ♦ |  | respect, |  | on account of |  | the |

υπερβαλλουσης |  | δοξης |  |
surpassing |  | glory. |  |

| 11 | ει |  | γαρ |  | το |  | καταργουμενον |  | δια |  | δοξης |  | πολλω |  | μαλλον |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | that which |  | is being annulled |  | [was] through |  | glory, |  | much |  | rather |

το |  | μενον |  | εν |  | δοξη |  |
that which |  | remains [is] |  | in |  | glory. |  |

| 12 | εχοντες |  | ουν |  | τοιαυτην |  | ελπιδα |  | πολλη |  | παρρησια |  | χρωμεθα |  |
|  | Having |  | therefore |  | such |  | hope, |  | much |  | boldness |  | we use: |  |

| 13 | και |  | ου |  | καθαπερ |  | μωσης |  | ετιθει |  | καλυμμα |  | επι |  | το |  | προσωπον |  | εαυτου |  | προς
|  | and |  | not |  | according as |  | Moses |  | put |  | a veil |  | on |  | the |  | face |  | of himself, |  | for

| το |  | μη |  | ατενισαι |  | τους |  | υιους |  | ισραηλ |  | εις |  | το |  | τελος |  | του |
| ♦ |  | not 5 |  | to 6 look 7 intently 8 |  | the 1 |  | sons 2 |  | of 3 Israel 4 |  | to |  | the |  | end |  | of that |

καταργουμενου |  |
being annulled. |  |

| 14 | αλλ |  | επωρωθη |  | τα |  | νοηματα |  | αυτων |  | αχρι |  | γαρ |  | της |  | σημερον |  | το |
|  | But |  | were hardened |  | their thoughts |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | for unto |  | ♦ |  | the |  | present |  | the |

αυτο |  | καλυμμα |  | επι |  | τη |  | αναγνωσει |  | της |  | παλαιας |  | διαθηκης |  | μενει |  | μη |
same |  | veil |  | at |  | the |  | reading |  | of the |  | old |  | covenant |  | remains, |  | not |

ανακαλυπτομενον |  | ο |  | τι |  | εν |  | χριστω |  | καταργειται |  |
uncovered, |  | which |  | ♦ |  | in |  | Christ |  | is being annulled. |  |

| 15 | αλλ |  | εως |  | σημερον |  | ηνικα |  | αναγινωσκεται |  | μωσης |  | καλυμμα |  | επι |  | την |
|  | But |  | unto |  | this day, |  | when |  | is read |  | Moses, |  | a veil |  | upon |  | their heart |

καρδιαν |  | αυτων |  | κειται |  |
♦ |  | ♦ |  | lies. |  |

| 16 | ηνικα |  | δ |  | αν |  | επιστρεψη |  | προς |  | κυριον |  | περιαιρειται |  | το |  | καλυμμα |  |
|  | But when |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | it shall have turned |  | to |  | [the] Lord, |  | is taken away |  | the |  | veil. |  |

| 17 | ο |  | δε |  | κυριος |  | το |  | πνευμα |  | εστιν |  | ου |  | δε |  | το |  | πνευμα |  | κυριου |
|  | Now the |  | ♦ |  | Lord |  | the |  | Spirit |  | is; |  | and where |  | ♦ |  | the |  | Spirit |  | of [the] Lord [is], |

εκει |  | ελευθερια |  |
there [is] |  | freedom. |  |

| 18 | ημεις |  | δε |  | παντες |  | ανακεκαλυμμενω |  | προσωπω |  | την |  | δοξαν |  | κυριου |
|  | But we |  | ♦ |  | all |  | with uncovered |  | face |  | the |  | glory |  | of [the] Lord |

κατοπτριζομενοι |  | την |  | αυτην |  | εικονα |  | μεταμορφουμεθα |  | απο |  | δοξης |  | εις |
beholding as in a mirror, [to] |  | the |  | same |  | image |  | are being transformed |  | from |  | glory |  | to |

δοξαν |  | καθαπερ |  | απο |  | κυριου |  | πνευματος |  |
glory, |  | even as |  | from [the] |  | Lord [the] |  | Spirit. |  |
