2 Corinthians 3:1-3 ALT
(1) Are we beginning again to be commending ourselves?-unless we need, as some [do], letters of recommendation to you, or [letters] of recommendation from you.
(2) You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, being known and being read by all people;
(3) being made known that you are [the] letter of Christ having been ministered [or, cared for] by us, having been written not with ink, but with [the] Spirit of [the] living God, not in tablets [made of] stone, but in fleshy tablets of hearts.
2 Corinthians 3:1-3 LITV
(1) Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we, as some, need commendatory letters to you, or commendatory ones from you?
(2) You are our letter, having been inscribed in our hearts, being known and being read by all men,
(3) it having been made plain that you are Christ's letter, served by us, not having been inscribed by ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, not in tablets of stone, but in fleshly tablets of the heart.
2 Corinthians 3:1-3 BBE
(1) Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?
(2) You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge;
(3) For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
