KJV with Strongs

(6) Who made us worthy as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but rather רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit because the letter kills but The רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit gives life.

The F.O.G
[6] He has made us competent ministers of a new covenant - not of the written code that brings death, but of the Spirit who brings life. This isn't about following external rules but experiencing internal transformation through God's Spirit.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

God's Word is too vast for a single perspective. We all have a story, and as believers we all carry the Holy Spirit who is the Revealer. With this in mind - I would love to read your comments.
