Paul’s Competence
4 Such is the confidence we have through Christ before God. 5 It is not that we are competent in[a] ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.(A) 6 He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant,(B) not of the letter,(C) but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
