哥林多后书 第 3 章
1我们岂是又举荐自己吗？岂像别人用人的荐信给你们或用你们的荐信给人吗？
1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
3你们明显是基督的信，借着我们修成的。不是用墨写的，乃是用永生神的灵写的；不是写在石版上，乃是写在心版上。
3Forasmuch 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.
5并不是我们凭自己能承担什么事；我们所能承担的，乃是出于神。
5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6他叫我们能承当这新约的执事，不是凭着字句，乃是凭着精意；因为那字句是叫人死，精意是叫人活。
6Who 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那用字刻在石头上属死的职事尚且有荣光，甚至以色列人因摩西面上的荣光，不能定睛看他的脸；这荣光原是渐渐退去的，
7But 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:
9若是定罪的职事有荣光，那称义的职事荣光就越发大了。
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10那从前有荣光的，因这极大的荣光就算不得有荣光了；
10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11若那废掉的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。
11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
13不像摩西将帕子蒙在脸上，叫以色列人不能定睛看到那将废者的结局。
13And 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但他们的心地刚硬，直到今日诵读旧约的时候，这帕子还没有揭去。这帕子在基督里已经废去了。
14But 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然而直到今日，每逢诵读摩西书的时候，帕子还在他们心上。
15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
