2 Corinthians 3:2-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

² You’re our letter of recommendation written in our hearts that everyone knows and reads. ³ It’s clear that you are Christ’s letter, written as a result of our ministry. You are a letter written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, a letter written not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

⁴ Christ gives us confidence about you in God’s presence. ⁵ By ourselves we are not qualified in any way to claim that we can do anything. Rather, God makes us qualified. ⁶ He has also qualified us to be ministers of a new promise,^[a] a spiritual promise, not a written one. Clearly, what was written brings death, but the Spirit brings life.
