'Competent' in the Bible

to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God.

It is He also who has made us competent to serve Him in connexion with a new Covenant, which is not a written code but a Spirit; for the written code inflicts death, but the Spirit gives Life.
