Berean Standard Bible
“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.”
Paul defends his ministry against critics by saying his real credentials are the transformed lives of the Corinthians, written by the Spirit rather than with ink. He then contrasts Moses' ministry with the ministry of the new covenant promised by the prophets.
