2 Corinthians 3:3-9

3You show that you are Christ’s letter, delivered by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God  — not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

4Such is the confidence we have through Christ before God.

5It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.

6He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

7Now if the ministry that brought death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to gaze steadily at Moses’s face because of its glory, which was set aside,

8how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?

9For if the ministry that brought condemnation had glory, the ministry that brings righteousness overflows with even more glory.
