2:15. For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are
saved and in them that perish.
2:16. To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others
the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
The odour of death, etc... The preaching of the apostle, which by its
fragrant odour, brought many to life, was to others, through their own
fault, the occasion of death; by their wilfully opposing and resisting
that divine call.
2:17. For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God: but with
sincerity: but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.
2 Corinthians Chapter 3
He needs no commendatory letters. The glory of the ministry of the New
Testament.
3:1. Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do)
epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
3:2. You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read
by all men:
3:3. Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by
us, and written: not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God: not
in tables of stone but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
3:4. And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
3:5. Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of
ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
3:6. Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in
the letter but in the spirit. For the letter killeth: but the spirit
quickeneth.
The letter... Not rightly understood, and taken without the spirit.
3:7. Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon
stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not
steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance),
which is made void:
3:8. How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
3:9. For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the
ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
3:10. For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by
reason of the glory that excelleth.
3:11. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which
remaineth is in glory.
3:12. Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence.
3:13. And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of
Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made
void.
3:14. But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the
selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken
away (because in Christ it is made void).
3:15. But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon
their heart.
3:16. But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be
taken away.
3:17. Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
3:18. But we all, beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are
transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of
the Lord.
2 Corinthians Chapter 4
