V.6 & following distinguishes between old and new testament (or covenants). The old, called the letter was engraved in stone, (probably the ten commandments). It killed, served death and condemnation and was to be done away with, and abolished. The new covenant is spiritual and gives life. It glows brighter in bringing us rightness, and will remain forever. This hope is of God and shall not be veiled, but spoken plainly and boldly. All these thoughts are found from V.5 to 13. Jesus is that life-giving spirit.
