2 Corinthians 3
Paul spoke of the ministry if the New Covenant. He compared the the requirements of the Law with grace of the New Covenant.

Application
Which ministry does your life fall under? The ministry of death (by works) of the ministry of the Spirit.


Fig 2 Cor 3.18


Verses to meditate on:
4Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. 5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
