4 We have such trust through Christ toward God,
5 not that we are sufficient in ourselves to take credit for anything of ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,
6 who has made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 If the ministry that brought death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, the glory which was to fade away,
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation is glorious, the ministry of righteousness much more exceeds it in glory.
10 Even that which was made glorious had no glory in comparison to the glory that excels.
