2 Corinthians 3:2-6

New International Version

² You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.^{(A) 3} You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,^(B) not on tablets of stone^(C) but on tablets of human hearts.^(D)

⁴ Such confidence^(E) we have through Christ before God. ⁵ Not that we are competent in ourselves^(F) to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.^{(G) 6} He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant^(H)—not of the letter^(I) but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.^(J)
