2 Corinthians 3:1-6 ▼

1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you.

2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men:

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tables of stone, but on fleshly tables of the heart.

4 And such trust we have through Christ toward God.

5 Not that we are sufficient by ourselves to think any thing as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
