2 Corinthians 3:6-9
6whoG3739 alsoG2532 madeG2427 us adequateG2427 as 1servantsG1249 of a 2newG2537 covenantG1242, not of 3the letterG1121 but of the SpiritG4151; for the letterG1121 killsG615, but 4the SpiritG4151 givesG2227 lifeG2227.
7But ifG1487 the 5ministryG1248 of deathG2288, engravedG1795 6in lettersG1121 on stonesG3037, cameG1096 7with gloryG1391 8soG5620 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? 9For ifG1487 9the ministryG1248 of condemnationG2633 has gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 does the 10ministryG1248 of righteousnessG1343 excelG4052 in gloryG1391.
