6 who also made us sufficient as (A)ministers of (B)the new covenant, not (C)of the letter but of the [a]Spirit; for (D)the letter kills, (E)but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant
7 But if (F)the ministry of death, (G)written and engraved on stones, was glorious, (H)so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will (I)the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry (J)of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant
7 Now if the ministry that brought death,(D) which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory,(E) transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation(F) was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!(G) 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

Galatians 3:16-21
New King James Version
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of (A)one, (B)“And to your Seed,” who is (C)Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, (D)which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God [a]in Christ, (E)that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if (F)the inheritance is of the law, (G)it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Purpose of the Law
19 What purpose then does the law serve? (H)It was added because of transgressions, till the (I)Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was (J)appointed through angels by the hand (K)of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, (L)but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

Galatians 3:16-21
New International Version
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed.(A) Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”[a](B) meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years(C) later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise;(D) but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions(E) until the Seed(F) to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels(G) and entrusted to a mediator.(H) 20 A mediator,(I) however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not!(J) For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.(K)

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

New King James Version
A New Covenant(A)
7 For if that (B)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: (C)“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (D)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (E)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (F)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (G)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (H)and their sins [a]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 (I)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(A) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[a]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(B)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(C)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(D) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(E)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(F)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(G)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(H)”[b](I)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(J) he has made the first one obsolete;(K) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
