2 Corinthians 3:3-9

3beingG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319 that ye areG1510 an epistle of ChristG5547, ministeredG1247 by us, written not with inkG3188, but with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; not in tables of stoneG3035, but in tables that areG1510 heartsG2588 of flesh.

4And suchG5108 confidenceG4006 have we through ChristG5547 to God-ward:

5not that we areG1510 sufficientG2425 of ourselves, to account anythingG5100 as from ourselves; but our sufficiency isG1510 from GodG2316;

6who alsoG2532 made us sufficient as ministers of a newG2537 covenantG1242; not of the letterG1121, but of the spiritG4151: for the letterG1121 killeth, but the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227.

7But if the ministration of deathG2288, written, and engraven on stonesG3037, cameG1096 with gloryG1391, so that the children of IsraelG2474 could not lookG816 stedfastly upon the faceG4383 of MosesG3475 for the gloryG1391 of his faceG4383; which gloryG1391 was passing awayG2673:

8howG4459 shall not ratherG3123 the ministration of the spiritG4151 beG1510 with gloryG1391?

9For if the ministration of condemnationG2633 hath gloryG1391, muchG4183 ratherG3123 doth the ministration of righteousnessG1343 exceed in gloryG1391.
