The Corinthians: Paul's Letter of Recommendation
2 Corinthians 3:1-5
1
Are we starting to recommend ourselves again? Or do we, like some, need letters of recommendation either to you or from you?
2
You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
3
You make it clear that you are a letter from the Messiah placed in our care, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on human hearts.
4
Such is the confidence we have through the Messiah toward God.
5
It is not that we are competent in ourselves to count anything as having come from us; on the contrary, our competence is from God.
