2 Corinthians 3:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

Paul’s Competence

⁴ Such is the confidence we have through Christ before God. ⁵ It is not that we are competent in^[a] ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.^{(A) 6} He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant,^(B) not of the letter,^(C) but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
