6 STF On nas osposobi za posluћitelje novoga Saveza, ne slova, nego Duha; jer slovo ubija, a Duh oћivljuje. BSB BSB: And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 STF Pa ako je smrtonosna sluћba, slovima uklesana u kamenju, bila tako slavna da sinovi Izraelovi nisu mogli pogledati u lice Mojsijevo zbog prolazne slave lica njegova, BSB BSB: Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
8 STF koliko li ce slavnija biti sluћba Duha. BSB BSB: will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
