About this ebook
Second Corinthians 3:16-18 (The Amplified Bible)
But whevever a person turns (in repentence) to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled faces (because we continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the very glory of the Lord), we all refect that glory and are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever-increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another: [for this all comes to us] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.
