since ye are manifestly shown to be a letter of Christ by means of our service, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.

But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled to them that it is done away in Christ;

since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.

since we are careful of this, that no one should blame us in our management of this abundant liberality;

since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty among you.
