2 Corinthians 3:4-6
English Standard Version
4 (A)Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 (B)Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but (C)our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us sufficient to be (D)ministers of (E)a new covenant, not of (F)the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but (G)the Spirit gives life.
