2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
He also makes it clear that it is about how the scriptures are understood.
2 Cor 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
John the Baptist was asked if he was Elias and he denied it.
John 1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
But Jesus said:
Mat 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
Jesus called for spiritual understanding. John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elias.
Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
To depend on the letter brings death.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
