The law, the letter
so high a bar
the letter kills;
but the Spirit gives life
The Spirit of God
the living Spirit of Christ
life within us
burning in our hearts
redeeming us from death
giving us life into life

2 Corinthians 3:6
“He has made us competent as ministers
of a new covenant
--not of the letter but of the Spirit;
for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
