I CORINTHIANS 3:5-11
5 ...our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of
the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter [the Torah],
but of the spirit: for the letter [the Torah] killeth, but the spirit
giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written
and engraven in stones [the Ten Commandments], was
glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face
of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be DONE AWAY:
8 How shall not the ministration of the
spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation [the Torah] be glory, much more doth the ministration of
righteousness [the New Testament] exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious [the Old Covenant] had no glory in this respect, by reason of the
glory that excelleth [the New Covenant].
11 For if that which is DONE AWAY [the Old Covenant Torah] was glorious, much more that which
remaineth [the New Covenant] is glorious.
So:
Torah = ministration of death, of
condemnation, kills, and was done away with; while
New Testament = ministration of the Spirit,
of righteousness, gives life, and remains!
