2 Corinthians 3:1-6
1
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
2
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3
being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4
Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.
5
Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
6
who also made 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.

Ephesians 3:1-10
1
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles -
2
if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to me for you;
3
that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.
4
By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5
which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
6
to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
7
of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.
8
To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,
9
and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;
10
so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.
