3 It is clear that you are a letter from Messiah delivered by us—written not with ink but with the Ruach of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Such is the confidence we have through Messiah toward God—
5 not that we are competent in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God.
6 He also made us competent as servants of a new covenant—not of the letter, but of the Ruach. For the letter kills, but the Ruach gives life.
7 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that Bnei-Yisrael could not look intently upon Moses’ face because of its glory—although it was passing away—
8 how will the ministry of the Ruach not be even more glorious?
9 For if there is glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness overflows even more in glory.
