2 Corinthians 3:5-8
5Not that we are adequateG2425 in ourselvesG1438 so as to considerG3049 anythingG5100 as having come from ourselvesG1438, but 1our adequacyG2426 is from GodG2316, 6whoG3739 alsoG2532 madeG2427 us adequateG2427 as 2servantsG1249 of a 3newG2537 covenantG1242, not of 4the letterG1121 but of the SpiritG4151; for the letterG1121 killsG615, but 5the SpiritG4151 givesG2227 lifeG2227.
7But ifG1487 the 6ministryG1248 of deathG2288, engravedG1795 7in lettersG1121 on stonesG3037, cameG1096 8with gloryG1391 9soG5620 thatG5620 the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 not lookG816 intentlyG816 at the faceG4383 of MosesG3475 becauseG1223 of the gloryG1391 of his faceG4383, fadingG2673 as it was, 8howG4459 will the ministryG1248 of the SpiritG4151 failG3780 to be even moreG3123 with gloryG1391?
