Lets do a study on Corinthians Chapter 3?

1. Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?

2. Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

3. 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.

4. And trust have we through Christ to God-ward.

5. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is of God.

6. Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament: not of the letter, but of the SPIRIT: for the letter killeth, but the spirit givieth life.

7. But if the minstration of death, writtten and engraven in stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance: which glory was to be done away:

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

9. For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

10. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

11. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

skipping down to 17.
Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

18. But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same Image from glory, to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Are there any other verses that we can list that coincede with these scriptures...


Fear not, for I am with you: Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isa 41:10 NKJV

Hi wernotalone,

I am not really sure just what you want in this study!

But for a try,

Quote

2. Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men 3. 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.

1 Cor. 9:2 says,

Quote

If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Now for 2 Cor. 3:4-6

Quote

4. And trust have we through Christ to God-ward. 5. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is of God. 6. Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament: not of the letter, but of the SPIRIT: for the letter killeth, but the spirit givieth life.

For these verses Ephesians 3 says, "

Quote

10 so that the manifold wisdom of God might new be made known through the church to the rulesrs and authorities in he the heavenly places.  11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have bodness and confident access through faith in Him.  13 There fore I ask you not to lose haeart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are you glory

."

Let me know if this is the direction that you want to go!
