2 Corinthians 3:12--4:6

Seeing then
<3767>
that we have
<2192> (5723)
such
<5108>
hope
<1680>_,
we use
<5530> (5736)
great
<4183>
plainness of speech
<3954>_:
{plainness: or, boldness}
And
<2532>
not
<3756>
as
<2509>
Moses
<3475>_,
[which] put
<5087> (5707)
a vail
<2571>
over
<1909>
his
<1438>
face
<4383>_,
that
<4314>
the children
<5207>
of Israel
<2474>
could
<816> (0)
not
<3361>
stedfastly look
<816> (5658)
to
<1519>
the end
<5056>
of that which is abolished
<2673> (5746)_:
But
<235>
their
<846>
minds
<3540>
were blinded
<4456> (5681)_:
for
<1063>
until
<891>
this day
<4594>
remaineth
<3306> (5719)
the same
<846>
vail
<2571>
untaken
<3361>
away
<343> (5746)
in
<1909>
the reading
<320>
of the old
<3820>
testament
<1242>_;
which
<3748>
[vail] is done away
<2673> (5743)
in
<1722>
Christ
<5547>_.
But
<235>
even
<2193>
unto this day
<4594>_,
when
<2259>
Moses
<3475>
is read
<314> (5743)_,
the vail
<2571>
is upon
<2749> (5736) <1909>
their
<846>
heart
<2588>_.
Nevertheless
<1161>
when
<2259>
it
<302>
shall turn
<1994> (5661)
to
<4314>
the Lord
<2962>_,
the vail
<2571>
shall be taken away
<4014> (5743)_.
Now
<1161>
the Lord
<2962>
is
<2076> (5748)
that Spirit
<4151>_:
and
<1161>
where
<3757>
the Spirit
<4151>
of the Lord
<2962>
[is], there
<1563>
[is] liberty
<1657>_.
But
<1161>
we
<2249>
all
<3956>_,
with open
<343> (5772)
face
<4383>
beholding as in a glass
<2734> (5734)
the glory
<1391>
of the Lord
<2962>_,
are changed
<3339> (5743)
into the same
<846>
image
<1504>
from
<575>
glory
<1391>
to
<1519>
glory
<1391>_,
[even] as
<2509>
by
<575>
the Spirit
<4151>
of the Lord
<2962>_.
{by the...: or, of the Lord the Spirit}
Therefore seeing
<1223> <5124>
we have
<2192> (5723)
this
<5026>
ministry
<1248>_,
as
<2531>
we have received mercy
<1653> (5681)_,
we faint
<1573> (5719)
not
<3756>_;
But
<235>
have renounced
<550> (5639)
the hidden things
<2927>
of dishonesty
<152>_,
not
<3361>
walking
<4043> (5723)
in
<1722>
craftiness
<3834>_,
nor
<3366>
handling
<1389> (0)
the word
<3056>
of God
<2316>
deceitfully
<1389> (5723)_;
but
<235>
by manifestation
<5321>
of the truth
<225>
commending
<4921> (5723)
ourselves
<1438>
to
<4314>
every
<3956>
man's
<444>
conscience
<4893>
in the sight
<1799>
of God
<2316>_.
{dishonesty: Gr. shame}
But
<1161>
if
<1499>
our
<2257>
gospel
<2098>
be
<2076> (5748)
hid
<2572> (5772)_,
it is
<2076> (5748)
hid
<2572> (5772)
to
<1722>
them that are lost
<622> (5730)_:
In
<1722>
whom
<3739>
the god
<2316>
of this
<5127>
world
<165>
hath blinded
<5186> (5656)
the minds
<3540>
of them which believe not
<571>_,
lest
<1519> <3361>
the light
<5462>
of the glorious
<1391>
gospel
<2098>
of Christ
<5547>_,
who
<3739>
is
<2076> (5748)
the image
<1504>
of God
<2316>_,
should shine
<826> (5658)
unto them
<846>_.
For
<1063>
we preach
<2784> (5719)
not
<3756>
ourselves
<1438>_,
but
<235>
Christ
<5547>
Jesus
<2424>
the Lord
<2962>_;
and
<1161>
ourselves
<1438>
your
<5216>
servants
<1401>
for
<1223> (0)
Jesus
<2424>_'
sake
<1223>_.
For
<3754>
God
<2316>_,
who
<3588>
commanded
<2036> (5631)
the light
<5457>
to shine
<2989> (5658)
out of
<1537>
darkness
<4655>_,

<3739>
hath shined
<2989> (5656)
in
<1722>
our
<2257>
hearts
<2588>_,
to
<4314>
[give] the light
<5462>
of the knowledge
<1108>
of the glory
<1391>
of God
<2316>
in
<1722>
the face
<4383>
of Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547>_.
{hath: Gr. is he who hath}
