2 Corinthians 3:5
| ← 2 Corinthians 3:4 | 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) | 2 Corinthians 3:6 → |
|---|---|---|
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
|
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
|
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
