2 Corinthians 3:7 in context

  1. 5not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
  2. 6who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
  3. 7But if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away:
  4. 8how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?
  5. 9For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
