2 Corinthians 3:7

← 2 Corinthians 3:6 2 Corinthians 3:7 (KJV) 2 Corinthians 3:8 →
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.
But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
