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.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
"By 'the letter,' he here understands the law, which punishes transgres- sors : by the Spirit, the grace which through baptism gives life to those who were in sin." St. Chrysostom.
