2 Cor 3 answers the question posed in chapter 2, " Who is adequate for such a task" of representing Christ?". Paul says, "not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant". Next, Paul compares the new covenant of grace with the old covenant of the law. He explains that living under the new covenant of grace is much more glorious, since it is "not of written laws" that condemns and ends in death, but "of the Spirit" giving life and making us right with God. Paul says the new covenant gives us "such hope" and confidence, "that we can be very bold". We also receive liberty and freedom from the Spirit under this new covenant, by which He enables us to live for him, "so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord". Paul concludes by explaining that "as the Spirit works within us", we are "being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord", becoming more and more like Christ.
