2 Corinthians 3:3-9

3being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but [the] Spirit of [the] living 1God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of [the] heart.

4And such confidence have we through the Christ towards 2God:

5not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency [is] of 3God;

6who has also made us competent, [as] ministers of [the] new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.

7(But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, [a glory] which is annulled;

8how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory?

9For if the ministry of condemnation [be] glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.
