In 2 Corinthians 3:4-11, Paul contrasts the Old Testament law with the new covenant of grace, referring to the law as that which “kills” while the Spirit gives life. The law is the “ministry of death, written and engraved on stone” (v. 7; Exodus 24:12) because it brings only the knowledge of sin and its condemnation.
Katika 2 Wakorintho 3: 4-11, Paulo anatofautiana na sheria ya Agano la Kale na agano jipya la neema, akitaja sheria kama ambayo "inaua" ilhali Roho hutoa uzima. sheria ni "huduma ya mauti, iliyoandikwa na kuchongwa juu ya jiwe" (mst 7; Kutoka 24:12) kwa sababu huleta tu maarifa ya dhambi na laana zake.
