In context

4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,

5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,

8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
