This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

3 We _are _beginning again ourselves to _be _commending?
Or not we _are _needing, as some, of _commendatory letters to you _all or from you _all?

2 The letter of _us you _all are, having _been _inscribed in the hearts of _us, being _known and being _read by all people,

3 being _revealed that you _all _are a_letter of_chosen _one /messiah, having _been _served by us, having _been _inscribed not in _ink, but with_the_spirit of_god the_living, not on tablets stone, but on tablets of _hearts fleshy.

4 And confidence such we _are _having through the chosen _one /messiah toward the god.

5 Not that from ourselves worthy we _are to _count anything as of ourselves, but the qualified of _us is of the god,

6 who also qualified us as _servants of_a_new covenant, not of_the_letter, but of_the_spirit, because/for the letter will _be _killing _off, but the spirit is _giving _life.

7 But if the service the of _death in letters having _been _engraved in _stones was _become in glory, so _as not to _be _able to _look _intently the sons of _Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl) at the face of _Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh), because _of the glory of _the face of _him, which is being _nullified,

8 how not more the service of _the spirit will _be in glory?

9 For/Because if in _the the_service was of_ the _condemnation, glory by _much more is _being _plentiful the service of_ the _righteousness in _glory.

10 For/Because even not has _been _glorified, the thing having _been _glorified in this the regard on _account the surpassing glory.

11 For/Because if the thing being _wasted through glory was, by _much rather the thing remaining in glory.

12 Therefore having such hope to _great boldness we _are _resorting,

13 and not just _as Mōsaʸs was _putting a_veil over the face of _him, because/for that not to _look _intently the sons of _Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl), to the end of _the thing being _wasted.

14 But was _hardened the thinking of _them.
For/Because until the today day, the same veil at at _the public _reading of _the old covenant is _remaining, not being _unveiled that in chosen _one /messiah it _is _being _nullified.

15 But to today whenever wishfully may _be _being _read Mōsaʸs, a_veil from the heart of _them is _lying.

16 But whenever if it _may _turn _back to the_master, is _being _taken _away the veil.

17 And the master the spirit is, and where the spirit of_the_master is, freedom is.

18 But we all having _been _unveiled in _face, the glory of_the_master reflecting, in _the same image we _are _being _transformed, from glory to glory, just _as from of_the_master, the_spirit.
