And
you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with
ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on
tablets of human hearts.
Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.
Not that we are
sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our
sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new
covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.
Now
the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this
comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
As we carry the gospel to all around us we
are ministers of righteousness we are called to be ministers of the new
covenant. Ministers of hope and grace.
