2 Corinthians 3:6 in Context — 2 Corinthians 3

4 Cette assurance-là, nous l’avons par Christ auprès de Dieu.

5 Ce n’est pas à dire que nous soyons par nous-mêmes capables de concevoir quelque chose comme venant de nous-mêmes. Notre capacité, au contraire, vient de Dieu.

6 Il nous a aussi rendus capables d’être ministres d’une nouvelle alliance, non de la lettre, mais de l’esprit; car la lettre tue, mais l’esprit vivifie.

7 Or, si le ministère de la mort, gravé avec des lettres sur des pierres, a été glorieux, au point que les fils d’Israël ne pouvaient fixer les regards sur le visage de Moïse, à cause de la gloire de son visage, bien que cette gloire fût passagère,

8 combien le ministère de l’esprit ne sera-t-il pas plus glorieux!
