2 Corinthians 3:1-6 ▼

1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? We don't need letters of recommendation to you or from you as some other people do, do we?

2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone,

3 revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.

4 Now we have such confidence in God through Christ.

5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as if it were coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,

6 who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
