6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: - 2 Corinthians 3:6,9-12

@soul man There is so much in 2 Corinthians...

It's as if the believers at Corinth had learned the lessons of Paul in 1 Corinthians and were now being taught the deeper things of God by the Apostle.
