The Corinthians: Paul's Letter of Recommendation

2 Corinthians 3:1-5

The Corinthians: Paul's Letter of Recommendation

1
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
2
You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:
3
Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written: not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God: not in tables of stone but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
4
And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
5
Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
