2 Corinthians 3:1-6 ▼

1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some, commendatory letters to you, or [commendatory] from you?

2 Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read of all men,

3 being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but [the] Spirit of [the] living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of [the] heart.

4 And such confidence have we through the Christ towards God:

5 not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency [is] of God;

6 who has also made us competent, [as] ministers of [the] new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.
