2 Corinthians 3:6

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

World English Bible (WEB)

Who{G3739} also{G2532} hath made{G2427} us{G2248} able{G2427}{(G5656)} ministers{G1249} of the new{G2537} testament{G1242}; not{G3756} of the letter{G1121}, but{G235} of the spirit{G4151}: for{G1063} the letter{G1121} killeth{G615}{(G5719)}, but{G1161} the spirit{G4151} giveth life{G2227}{(G5719)}.

Strong's King James

(6) Who made us worthy as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but rather רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit because the letter kills but The רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit gives life.

The F.O.G*
[6] He has made us competent ministers of a new covenant - not of the written code that brings death, but of the Spirit who brings life. This isn't about following external rules but experiencing internal transformation through God's Spirit.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
