In 2 Corinthians 3, the theme is we all are "changed", "from glory to glory" of twain glorys. The chanGe, from old (law) glory to new (grace) glory, is also from them-ward (life + death = dead end) to us-ward (eternal life). Why? Because when they shall say peace & safety (law & odor = pew), then sudden destruction cometh upon "them"...the "no escape" sort of "destruction" (Lk 17; 1Thess 5:3).


It is written: God hath given "us" the victory (over law: sin and death). To wit, "that God" was in "Christ" reconciling the world unto himself... and hath given "us" the word of reconciliation (grace). Such victory-us, ultimate and universal reconciliation unto His Grace (is neither of two "law"s in Mt 22 & Rom 8), is notably through Jesus -> Christ; Which is allegorically (them vs them) -> usward;  as if conversion from all perish (by law law) -> to none perish (by grace).

The change (from law glory to grace glory, as from blind faith to seeing faith, and as from Mt Sinai to Mt Sion, as from this world to that world, as from ignorance to understanding, as from this God to that God, from this gospel to that gospel)  is "as by the Spirit" (by the "operation of God": takes the law out of grace + law, as if taking the death out of life + death).

Like it or not, we all are being chanGed from this to that: for where "that Spirit", the Spirit of grace, there is liberty (free-dom) and peace (he is our peace). Of this/that, the Lord (chief, ruler) is now "that" Spirit ("that" God), the true one of false/true spirits ("that" Jesus Christ is come), the only true God of false/true Gods.

    Friend: "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee": Grace ("Higher")
    Enmity: "I will forsake you", the city, your fathers: Law ("on High")
    Christ is our peace who hath abolished the law(enmity): Ephesians 2

The l-o-n-g-suffering of the Lord to us-ward (all us and no them at all, being allegorically all grace and no law at all), and so none perish (from law: a ministration of death), is what we all should account as salvation (the eternal sort) according to "converted" Peter, who says even beloved brother Paul spoke of these things in "all his epistles". And all Paul's epistles includes Hebrews and Revelation.

In Hebrews, a mini bible itself, the exhortation, after comparing good/better, is to leave the principles (plural) and go on (fwd ho we go to us-ward) unto perfection. For what was good for them (time past), and better for us (last days), is only good and better for some; but what's best of good better best is best for all. And what's best for all is for all to be one: us, instead of a divided twain: them/us; for any person, house, or kingdom divided against itself shall fall, to ruin.

The us of usward, being the us of them/us in such a shew, allegorically speaks of the "you" of ye/you. For the KofG is within "you" because "you" is allegorically the perfected "ye" (2Pet 5:10), the after part of such before/after, the only wise God of two Gods, onefold instead of twofold. And when it comes to God is one slice, and rightly divided instead of divided, "that God" is "the God of all grace" (no law at all), the "living God" of the "living". Selah.

Us-ward is the end of begin/end, for "the beginning" was both fear (Psalms and Proverbs) and sorrows (Mt 24; Mk 13), both darkness and false light, both evening and mourning; which there is no mention of on the seventh day. God said, declaring the end from the beginning, "let there be light" (which is allegorically let there be enlightenment: awareness and understanding that grace is sufficient). Fear was the "beginning" of wisdom, and "devilish wisdom" of two wisdoms. Love is the end of Godly wisdom, against such (first fruit) there is "no law". For "wisdom from above" (Grace unto you... from God our Father) is "firstly pure"; And when wisdom is firstly pure (pure grace), pure mercy, then peace-able (James 3).


The end of wisdom (understanding), much like "the end of the commandment", is Love (God) one another "as I have loved (graced) you". The end of "the commandment" (singular), is charity ("greatest" of [great/greater] -> greatest) out of a pure heart (1 Timothy 1:5). Charity "suffereth l-o-n-g" (1 Corinthians 13), as the Lord is "l-o-n-g-suffering", both "suffering" to "us-ward". A pure heart speaks of a heart "established" in "grace", of no perversion (grace + law); and no bad blood like Abel's (crying for vengeance), nor any bloodshed due to envy and strife. For where envy and strife, there confusion and every evil thing: concupiscence

                    God is not of confusion. Let us not have confusion;
                    Rather clarity: "my grace is sufficient" (no law req'd).
