1 DO we begin again to commend our selves? Or do we need, as some other people, epistles of commendation concerning us written to you, or that you should write commending us? 2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, well-known and read by all men: 3 For you are known to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the spirit of the Living God; not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of the living heart. 4 Such is the trust that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our strength comes from God, 6 Who has made us worthy to be ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but the Spirit: for the letter of the law punishes with death, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:1-6, Lamsa Bible.
