2 Corinthians 3:4

Jesus
Faith

2 You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.

3 It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.

5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.

6 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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
