2 Corinthians 4 &3

Thank you, Father, that in mercy and grace, you have given me a ministry. I am encouraged that I can be used by you to reflect the gospel of the glory of Christ to others.

I do not commend myself, but it is all about Christ Jesus, my Lord, your Messiah, and your people’s Savior. I am now simply your bond servant, Father, for Jesus’ sake. You have caused the light of the knowledge of your glory to shine in my heart and mind, Father.

Your old covenant was glorious; so glorious that the children of Israel could not look steadily at Moses’s face. If this old covenant of death was glorious, how much more glorious is your ministry of righteousness and eternal life.

By your grace and election and call, I have turned to you, Lord, and my eyes are opened to your light in Christ. I know that you are a spirit and that where your spirit is, Father, is liberty.

So now, I, with unveiled face, behold, as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord. I am being transformed into the image of the Lord Jesus from glory to glory by the steadfast presence of your Holy Spirit.
