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.

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:

the ministration: 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 3:9, Romans 7:10
written: 2 Corinthians 3:3, Exodus 24:12, Exodus 31:18, Exodus 32:15, Exodus 32:16, Exodus 32:19, Exodus 34:1, Exodus 34:28, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 5:22, Deuteronomy 9:9-11, Deuteronomy 9:15, Deuteronomy 10:1-4, Hebrews 9:4

How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

the ministration: 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 3:17, 2 Corinthians 11:4, Isaiah 11:2, Isaiah 44:3, Isaiah 59:21, Joel 2:28, Joel 2:29, John 1:17, John 7:39, Acts 2:17, Acts 2:18, Acts 2:32, Acts 2:33, Romans 8:9-16, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Galatians 3:2-5, Galatians 3:14, Galatians 5:5, Galatians 5:22, Galatians 5:23, Ephesians 2:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Peter 1:2, Jude 1:19, Jude 1:20

For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

the ministration of condemnation: 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 3:7, Exodus 19:12-19, Exodus 20:18, Exodus 20:19, Romans 1:18, Romans 8:3, Romans 8:4, Galatians 3:10, Hebrews 12:18-21
the ministration of righteousness: 2 Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 46:13, Jeremiah 23:6, Romans 1:17, Romans 3:21, Romans 3:22, Romans 4:11, Romans 5:15-21, Romans 10:3-10, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Galatians 5:4, Galatians 5:5, Philippians 3:9, 2 Peter 1:1
exceed: 2 Corinthians 3:10, 2 Corinthians 3:11, 1 Corinthians 15:41, Hebrews 3:5, Hebrews 3:6
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 33:2 - a fiery law Haggai 2:9 - glory Luke 11:13 - how 2 Corinthians 4:4 - lest 2 Corinthians 5:14 - then 2 Corinthians 11:15 - the ministers Hebrews 5:13 - the word

10.

For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

had: Job 25:5, Isaiah 24:23, Haggai 2:3, Haggai 2:7-9, Acts 26:13, Philippians 3:7-8, 2 Peter 1:17, Revelation 21:23, Revelation 21:24, Revelation 22:5
Reciprocal: Isaiah 43:18 - General Haggai 2:9 - glory 1 Corinthians 4:21 - shall 2 Corinthians 3:7 - which 2 Corinthians 3:9 - exceed

11.

For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

if: 2 Corinthians 3:7, Romans 5:20, Romans 5:21, Hebrews 7:21-25, Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 12:25-29
much: 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 4:1
Reciprocal: 2 Corinthians 3:9 - exceed 2 Corinthians 4:4 - lest

12.

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

we use: 2 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Corinthians 4:3, 2 Corinthians 4:13, John 10:24, John 16:25, John 16:29, 1 Corinthians 14:19, Colossians 4:4
plainness: or, boldness, 2 Corinthians 7:4, 2 Corinthians 10:1, Acts 4:13, Acts 4:29-31, Acts 9:27, Acts 9:29, Acts 14:3, Ephesians 6:19, Ephesians 6:20, Philippians 1:20, 1 Thessalonians 2:2, 1 Timothy 3:13
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 27:8 - very plainly Psalms 49:4 - dark Habakkuk 2:2 - make Matthew 10:27 - I tell Acts 4:11 - you Philemon 1:8 - bold

13.

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:

which: Exodus 34:33-35
could not: 2 Corinthians 3:18
to the: Romans 10:4, Galatians 3:23, Galatians 3:24, Ephesians 2:14, Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:17, Hebrews 10:1-9
Reciprocal: Exodus 34:29 - the skin Psalms 119:18 - wondrous Song of Solomon 2:9 - he standeth Isaiah 25:7 - he will

14.

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.

their: 2 Corinthians 4:3, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Psalms 69:23, Isaiah 6:10, Isaiah 26:10-12, Isaiah 42:18-20, Isaiah 44:18, Isaiah 56:10, Isaiah 59:10, Jeremiah 5:21, Ezekiel 12:2, Matthew 6:23, Matthew 13:11, Matthew 13:13-15, John 9:39-41, John 12:40, Acts 28:26, Acts 28:27, Romans 11:7-10, Romans 11:25
which veil: 2 Corinthians 4:6, Isaiah 25:7, Matthew 16:17, Luke 18:31-34, Luke 24:25-27, Luke 24:44-46, John 8:12, John 12:46, Acts 16:14, Acts 26:18, Ephesians 1:17-20
Reciprocal: Psalms 119:18 - Open Isaiah 10:21 - return Isaiah 29:18 - the deaf Isaiah 42:19 - Who is blind Matthew 11:25 - because Matthew 13:14 - the prophecy Matthew 23:39 - Blessed Mark 3:5 - hardness Luke 9:45 - General Luke 19:42 - but Luke 24:45 - General John 12:35 - lest John 12:38 - revealed John 16:14 - for Acts 3:17 - through Acts 9:18 - immediately Acts 13:27 - because Romans 11:8 - unto this day 1 Corinthians 2:8 - for 1 Corinthians 11:25 - the new 2 Corinthians 3:6 - the new 2 Corinthians 3:7 - which 1 John 2:11 - because Revelation 11:19 - the ark

15.

But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

the veil: Acts 13:27-29
Reciprocal: Leviticus 26:45 - for their Deuteronomy 29:4 - General Isaiah 42:19 - Who is blind Mark 11:33 - We Luke 13:35 - Blessed Romans 11:8 - unto this day

16.

Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

when: Exodus 34:34, Deuteronomy 4:30, Deuteronomy 30:10, Lamentations 3:40, Hosea 3:4, Hosea 3:5, Romans 11:25-27
the veil: Isaiah 25:7, Isaiah 29:18, Isaiah 54:13, Jeremiah 31:34, John 6:45, John 6:46
Reciprocal: Leviticus 26:45 - for their Deuteronomy 30:2 - return unto Isaiah 11:11 - set his hand Acts 9:35 - turned Acts 26:20 - turn Romans 11:23 - General

17.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

the Lord: 2 Corinthians 3:6, John 6:63, 1 Corinthians 15:45
where: Psalms 51:12, Isaiah 61:1, Romans 8:2, Romans 8:15, Romans 8:16, Galatians 4:6, 2 Timothy 1:7
Reciprocal: Leviticus 25:10 - proclaim Psalms 119:32 - enlarge Isaiah 59:21 - My spirit John 4:24 - a Spirit John 8:32 - and the John 8:36 - General Romans 6:22 - But now 2 Corinthians 3:8 - the ministration 2 Corinthians 3:18 - by the Spirit of the Lord Galatians 2:4 - liberty Galatians 5:1 - the liberty James 1:25 - liberty

18.

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.

with: 2 Corinthians 3:13
as in: 1 Corinthians 13:12, James 1:23
