1 Begin we again to recommend ourselves or need we not, as some; recommendatory epistles to you, or recommendatory from you? 2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and acknowledged by all men: 3 Made manifest that ye are the epistle of Christ served by us, not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables made of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. 4 And we have such confidence through Christ to God: 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency of God; 6 Who rendered as fitting servants of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, and the Spirit makes alive. 2 Corinthians 3:1-6, Smith's Literal Translation.
