2 Corinthians 3:6-9

6who also made us adequate as 1servants of a 2new covenant, not of 3the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but 4the Spirit gives life.

7But if the 5ministry of death, engraved 6in letters on stones, came 7with glory 8so 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? 9For if 9the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the 10ministry of righteousness excel in glory.
