NET Bible
"who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
— 2 Corinthians 3:6, NET Bible
“Who 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.”
revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.
Now we have such confidence in God through Christ.
Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as if it were coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
The Greater Glory of the Spirit’s Ministry But if the ministry that produced death– carved in letters on stone tablets– came with glory, so that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face(a glory which was made ineffective),
how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be?
For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!
