2 Corinthians 3:4-6

NLT

NIV

4 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ before God.
5 It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.
5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.
6 He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.
6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
