47:002:014 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in
Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us
in every place.
47:002:015 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
47:002:016 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the
other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for
these things?
47:002:017 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as
of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in
Christ.
47:003:001 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some
others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of
commendation from you?
47:003:002 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
47:003:003 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
47:003:004 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
47:003:005 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
47:003:006 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.
