2 Corinthians 3:3-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ It is clear that you are Christ’s letter,^(A) produced^[a] by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God^(B)—not on stone tablets^(C) but on tablets that are hearts of flesh.^(D)

Paul’s Competence

⁴ We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ. ⁵ It is not that we are competent in^[b] ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God.^{(E) 6} He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant,^(F) not of the letter,^(G) but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.
