who also sealed us, and gave us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?

And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;

that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.

to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?

being made manifest that ye are an 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 tables that are hearts of flesh.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

and are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:

but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ.

But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.

But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
