2 Corinthians 3:18

3:18 And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, 1  are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, 2  which is from 3  the Lord, who is the Spirit. 4 

2 Corinthians 4:14

4:14 We do so 5  because we know that the one who raised up Jesus 6  will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence.

1 tn Or “we all with unveiled faces beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror.”

2 tn Grk “from glory to glory.”

3 tn Grk “just as from.”

4 tn Grk “from the Lord, the Spirit”; the genitive πνεύματος (pneumato") has been translated as a genitive of apposition.

5 tn Grk “speak, because.” A new sentence was started here in the translation, with the words “We do so” supplied to preserve the connection with the preceding statement.

6 tc ‡ Several important witnesses (א C D F G Ψ 1881), as well as the Byzantine text, add κύριον (kurion) here, changing the reading to “the Lord Jesus.” Although the external evidence in favor of the shorter reading is slim, the witnesses are important, early, and diverse (Ì46 B [0243 33] 629 [630] 1175* [1739] pc r sa). Very likely scribes with pietistic motives added the word κύριον, as they were prone to do, thus compounding this title for the Lord.
