2 Corinthians 3:1-6 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you? ² You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men: 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. ⁴ And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God. ⁵ Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God. 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.
