New Covenant Ministry

1 Am I beginning again to 'commend' myself? Do I need, like some people, to be commended by written certificates either to you or from you? 2 Why, you are my certificate yourselves, written on my heart, recognized and read by all men; 3 you make it obvious that you are a letter of Christ which I have been employed to inscribe, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of the human heart.
