2 Corinthians 3:5-8
5Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but 1our adequacy is from God, 6who also made us adequate as 2servants of a 3new covenant, not of 4the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but 5the Spirit gives life.
7But if the 6ministry of death, engraved 7in letters on stones, came 8with glory 9so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
