Spirit of law

Spirit of law
11 Cor 3:6, it is written that we must obey the law according to the SPIRIT-that is, the principle or intent of the law not according to the specific letter.
nlt6 He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.

ESV
6who has made us competent[c] to be(L) ministers of(M) a new covenant, not of(N) the letter but of the Spirit.

CEV
6 He made us able to be servants of a new agreement from himself to his people. This new agreement is not a written law, but it is of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

Worldwide english new testament
6God has made a new start with people. He has given us a new way back to God. It is not a written law. The Spirit gives it to us. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.
