Showing verse 6 with surrounding context.
3
In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
4
And such trust haue we through Christ to God:
5
Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,

The Sufficiency of the New Covenant Ministry

6
Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life.

The Superior Glory of the Spirit

7
If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.)
8
Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
9
For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
