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.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Such is the confidence that we have in God through the Messiah.[a] 5 By ourselves we are not qualified to claim that anything comes from us. Rather, our credentials come from God, 6 who has also qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, which is not written but spiritual, because the written text[b] brings death, but the Spirit gives life.
