Such is the confidence we have toward God through Christ.

And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
