The Gift of Competent Service

2 Corinthians 3:4–6

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

2 Corinthians 4:1

The Light of the Gospel

4:1 Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

2 Corinthians 4:7

Treasure in Jars of Clay

7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

2 Corinthians 4:15

15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
