For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

For most assuredly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
