saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

Corinthians 3
2Co
3:1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as
do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
2Co
3:2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all
men;
2Co
3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us,
written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in
tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
2Co
3:4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
2Co
3:5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as
from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
2Co
3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not
of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.
2Co
3:7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came
with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly
on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing
away:
2Co
3:8 won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
2Co
3:9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of
righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
2Co
3:10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not
been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that
surpasses.
2Co
3:11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that
which remains is in glory.
2Co
3:12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
2Co
3:13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children
of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was
passing away.
2Co
3:14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the
reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ
it passes away.
2Co
3:15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their
heart.
2Co
3:16 But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2Co
3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
2Co
3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the
glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to
glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
