Paul commences chapter 3 saying that he doesn't need a letter of recommendation because the transformed lives of the Corinthian Christians constitutes that letter, "written by the Spirit of God on the tablets of human hearts... for our competence comes from God... for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life... and if the law on stone came with glory... how much more glorious is the ministry of the Spirit which brings righteousness... Moses would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from seeing the glory... but when someone turns to God the veil is taken away... and where the Spirit is there is freedom... and we are being transformed into his likeness with ever increasing glory".
