2 Corinthians 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Such confidence(A) we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves(B) to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.(C) 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant(D)—not of the letter(E) but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.(F)
