2 Corinthians 3:2

---

← 2 Corinthians 3:1	2 Corinthians 3:2 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 3:3 →
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you?	Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:	[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.
