2 Corinthians
Chapters 3:1-4
St Paul from the Trenches 1916
1I do not make use of letters of commendation to you from the churches, nor do I ask any such testimonials from you to recommend me on my way. Perhaps that is why I have so often to commend myself?
2But I regard you yourselves as my testimonial and written commendation and character, written on the heart, and read and known by all men.
3For it is most abundantly evident and clear that in you is the handwriting of the Christ to be discerned, his sign and seal, ministered by me but divinely manifested, written not with a pen and the aid of ink and parchment, but by the spirit of the living God — yes, not written on tables of stone, but on tables of the heart and of flesh.
4Such, then, is the only sufficiency I have to put before the world.
