2 Corinthians 3:1-3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again i.e., by saying that we are not like other people? Or, do we need letters of recommendation to you or from you, as others do?

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again [i.e., by saying that we are not like other people]? Or, do we need letters of recommendation to you or from you, as others do? ² You people are our letters [of recommendation], written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. ³ You people show [i.e., by your conversions] that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us [i.e., the result of our ministry], not written with ink but with the Holy Spirit of the living God; not on stone tablets [i.e., as in the case with Moses’ ministry], but on tablets of the human heart. [See Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10].
