1. Do we begin again to commend ourselves?  Or do we need, as some others, epistles of  commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?
2. You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;  (1 Cor. 9:2)
3. you are manifestly an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.   (Ps. 40:8;   Prov. 3:3)
4. And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
5. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,  (John 15:5;   1 Cor. 15:10)
17. Now the Lord is the Spirit;
    and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
    (John 4:24;   Gal. 5:1;   Gal. 5:13)    (*!*)
18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.  (John 17:23;   1 Cor. 13:12)
