절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	God's New Agreement Are we once again bragging about ourselves? Do we need letters to you or from you to tell others about us? Some people do need letters telling about them.	Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2	But you are our letter, and you are in our hearts for everyone to read and understand.	Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3	You are like a letter written by Christ and delivered by us. But you are not written with pen and ink or on tablets made of stone. You are written in our hearts by the Spirit of the living God.	Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the 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 fleshy tables of the heart.
4	We are sure about all this. Christ makes us sure in the very presence of God.	And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5	We don't have the right to claim that we have done anything on our own. God gives us what it takes to do all we do.	Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6	He makes us worthy to be the servants of his new agreement that comes from the Holy Spirit and not from a written Law. After all, the Law brings death, but the Spirit brings life.	Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7	The Law of Moses brought only the promise of death, even though it was carved on stones and given in a wonderful way. Still the Law made Moses' face shine so brightly the people of Israel could not look at it, even though it was a fading glory.	But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8	So won't the agreement the Spirit brings to us be even more wonderful?	How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9	If something that brings the death sentence is glorious, won't something that makes us acceptable to God be even more glorious?	For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10	In fact, the new agreement is so wonderful that the Law is no longer glorious at all.	For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11	The Law was given with a glory that faded away. But the glory of the new agreement is much greater, because it will never fade away.	For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
12	This wonderful hope makes us feel like speaking freely.	Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13	We are not like Moses. His face was shining, but he covered it to keep the people of Israel from seeing the brightness fade away.	And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14	The people were stubborn, and something still keeps them from seeing the truth when the Law is read. Only Christ can take away the covering that keeps them from seeing.	But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15	When the Law of Moses is read, they have their minds covered over	But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16	with a covering that is removed only for those who turn to the Lord.	Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17	The Lord and the Spirit are one and the same, and the Lord's Spirit sets us free.	Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18	So our faces are not covered. They show the bright glory of the Lord, as the Lord's Spirit makes us more and more like our glorious Lord.	But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
