2 Corinthians 3:5-6

5 Not that we are adequate ^{▼▼tn Or “competent.”} in ourselves to consider anything as if it were coming from ourselves, but our adequacy ^{▼▼tn Or “competence.”} is from God, 6 who made us adequate ^{▼▼tn Or “competent.”} to be servants of a new covenant ^{▼▼sn This new covenant is promised in Jer 31:31-34; 32:40.} not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
