2 Corinthians 3:8

4 Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.

5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.

6 And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

7 Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,

8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

9 For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!

10 Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.

11 For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!

12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
