King James Bible (Oxford) 1769

 

   

3:1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
3:2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3:3Forasmuch 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.
3:4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
3:5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
3:6Who 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 giveth life.
3:7But if the ministration of death, written 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:
3:8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
3:9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
3:10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
3:11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
3:12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
3:13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
3:14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
3:15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
3:16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
3:17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
3:18But 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.

King James Bible (Oxford) 1769

By the mid-18th century the wide variation in the various modernized printed texts of the Authorized Version, combined with the notorious accumulation of misprints, had reached the proportion of a scandal, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge both sought to produce an updated standard text. First of the two was the Cambridge edition of 1760, the culmination of twenty-years work by Francis Sawyer Parris, who died in May of that year. This 1760 edition was reprinted without change in 1762 and in John Baskerville's fine folio edition of 1763. This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
