2 Corinthians 3:6
Douay-Rheims
Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.
Tertullian
Therefore "the New Testament" will appertain to none other than Him who promised it-if not "its letter, yet its spirit; " and herein will lie its newness.
Even if "the letter killeth, yet the Spirit giveth life; " and both belong to Him who says: "I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal.
