Bible Note: The letter (LAW) killeth, but the Spirit giveth life. Paul was speaking favorably about God the Holy Spirit in the new covenant. He uses words to say this so we can't conclude he finds words to be evil. Especially when we consider John's awesome use of the Word. Here in 2 Cor. 3:6 Paul is speaking favorably about the past use of the law, but it has done its job and it is no longer what we are looking to. Notice v. 1, the commending is walking by sight, not by faith. He talks about letters of commendation being unnecessary because you Corinthinians are a living epistle, meaning your lives are a letter read by all who know you. Our sufficiency is from God. |
