2 Corinthians 3:6

New Covenant Ministry

⁵ We are not adequate by ourselves to account for anything. Our adequacy is from God. ⁶ who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. ⁷ The ministry of death was written and engraved on stones. Glory came with it so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly upon the face of Moses. And this glory was passing away.
