³revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.

⁴Now we possess such confidence through Christ toward God. ⁵Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, ⁶who also makes us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

⁷But if the ministry of death in letters carved on stone came with glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look intently into the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, which was transitory, ⁸how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more with glory? ⁹For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, by much more will the ministry of righteousness overflow with glory. ¹⁰For indeed what had been glorified has not been glorified in this case, on account of the glory that surpasses it. ¹¹For if what was transitory came with glory, by much more what remains is with glory.
