2 Corinthians 3:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
It Is God Who Makes Us Sufficient As Ministers of His New Covenant
4 And we have such[a] a confidence through Christ toward God— 5 not that we are sufficient[b] from ourselves to count anything as out of ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 Who indeed made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives-life.
