4Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
5not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
6who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.
7But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
8won`t rather service of the spirit be rather with more glory?
9For if the service of condemnation has glory, much rather does the service of righteousness exceed in glory.
10For most assuredly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
