2 Corinthians 3:1-18
Key Verse 6
He 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.

letter from Christ’? (1-3) On what basis did Paul have confidence as a minister of
Christ? (4-5) What is the meaning of ‘a new covenant of the Spirit’? (6)
2. Read verses 7-11. Why does the ministry engraved in letters on stone bring
death? (7a) Why is the ministry of the Spirit more glorious than the ministry
engraved in letters on stone? (7b-11)
3. Read verses 12-18. Why does Moses’ veil become useless? (12, 13) How can
the veil be taken away? (14-16) What will happen to us through the Spirit of the
Lord? (17-18)
