2 Corinthians 3:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ We don't have the right to claim that we have done anything on our own. God gives us what it takes to do all we do. ^6 (A) He makes us worthy to be the servants of his new agreement that comes from the Holy Spirit and not from a written Law. After all, the Law brings death, but the Spirit brings life.

^7 (B) The Law of Moses brought only the promise of death, even though it was carved on stones and given in a wonderful way. Still the Law made Moses' face shine so brightly the people of Israel could not look at it, even though it was a fading glory.
