2 Corinthians 3:3-9

3clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

4And we have such trust through Christ toward God.

5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,

6who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

7But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,

8how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?

9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
