6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a ^dnew covenant, ^enot of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but ^fthe Spirit gives life.

7 Now if the ^gministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that ^hthe Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.
