3:1 Following the new agreement by the spirit

3Oh, are we beginning to pat ourselves on the back again? Don’t we need written references for you all, or from you all, like some others do? 2It’s all of you who’re our references, and having been written in our hearts, it’s known about and being read by all people. 3[ref]It shows that you who were served by us, are now Messiah’s letter that wasn’t written with ink but with God’s living spirit—not written on stone tablets but on people’s hearts.

4We have such confidence towards God through the messiah, 5not that we ourselves are worthy to consider ourselves anything special, but our qualifications come from God. 6[ref]He qualified us as servants of a new agreement—not following it by the letter, but by the spirit, because following by the letter leads to death whereas following by the spirit gives life.

7[ref]The system which was inscribed on stone tablets and which results in death was so incredible when it was given that the Israeli’s couldn’t even bring themselves to look at Mosheh’ face because it shone so brightly. But if that system is being nullified, 8won’t this system via the spirit be even greater? 9If the system that brought condemnation was incredible, how much greater is the system that leads to righteousness, 10because that earlier system seems ordinary now when compared with the more incredible greatness of the new system, 11and if what ended up being replaced was incredible, how much more incredible is the system that lasts.

12So then, since that’s our expectation, we can be very bold, 13[ref]not just like Mosheh putting a veil over his face because the Israeli’s couldn’t even look at him when introducing a system that would be replaced. 14But their thinking was inflexible because even until this very day, the same veil remains during the public reading of the Hebrew scriptures—it’s not opened up because it’s only Messiah that nullifies it. 15So these days whenever Mosheh’ writings are being read, a veil lies across their hearts, 16[ref]but whenever that heart might turn towards the master, the veil will be removed. 17Now the master is the spirit, and there’s freedom wherever the master’s spirit is. 18All of us who’ve had our faces unveiled are reflecting the master’s greatness, and that same image transforms us from greatness to greatness. This comes from the master who is the spirit.


3We_are_beginning again ourselves to_be_commending?
Or not we_are_needing, as some, of_commendatory letters to you_all or from you_all?
2The letter of_us you_all are, having_been_inscribed in the hearts of_us, being_known and being_read by all people, 3being_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.
4And confidence such we_are_having through the chosen_one/messiah toward the god.
5Not that from ourselves worthy we_are to_count anything as of ourselves, but the qualified of_us is of the god, 6who 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.
7But 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/(Yisrāʼēl) at the face of_Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh), because_of the glory of_the face of_him, which is being_nullified, 8how not more the service of_the spirit will_be in glory?
9For/Because if in_the the_service was of_ the _condemnation, glory by_much more is_being_plentiful the service of_ the _righteousness in_glory.
10For/Because even not has_been_glorified, the thing having_been_glorified in this the regard on_account the surpassing glory.
11For/Because if the thing being_wasted through glory was, by_much rather the thing remaining in glory.
12Therefore having such hope to_great boldness we_are_resorting, 13and not just_as Mōsaʸs was_putting a_veil over the face of_him, because/for that not to_look_intently the sons of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), to the end of_the thing being_wasted.
14But 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.
15But to today whenever wishfully may_be_being_read Mōsaʸs, a_veil from the heart of_them is_lying.
16But whenever if it_may_turn_back to the_master, is_being_taken_away the veil.
17And the master the spirit is, and where the spirit of_the_master is, freedom is.
18But 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.
