Bible Quotes Nov 5th 2 Corinthians 3:6

“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.”
2 Corinthians 3:6
===

A problem with academia is the promise of the sure result, is not matched with the truth, that every result must be continuously defended. And ancient Greece was the home of academia. Paul went to Corinth and shared his life as a Christian. And Paul returned. Frustrated. Hurt. Explaining again and again what he had meant as Corinthians split hairs.

But the result is a pure distillation of Paul’s message. We may know that God is love. Here we are told explicitly how we engage as His agents with His people. It is the choices we make in the hard times which define us. Some in hard times, choose to fight the devil. Don't concern yourself with that. It is not the letter of the law, which cuts, but the spirit of the law, which is the love of God, which heals.
