People's Commentary (NT)
2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers. God gave Paul and his
fellow-ministers their "sufficiency" (2 Corinthians 3:5), who had made them
able ministers of the gospel.
Of the new testament. The New Covenant, the Covenant of Christ.
This is here contrasted with the Old Covenant, the Jewish. One is the
Law; the other the Gospel. Compare Hebrews 8:7-13.
Not of the letter, but of the spirit. The first, the law, was
written (by letters written and engraved on stones, hence "of the
letter"); the gospel is the dispensation of the Spirit.
The letter killeth. The law. It condemns all who do not obey its
commands, but could make no man perfect. The law places under the
sentence of death. See notes on Romans 7:9.
The spirit giveth life. The gospel bestows eternal life.
