‏ 2 Corinthians 3:6

 Who also made us sufficient for such confidence ( ος κα ικανωσεν ημας ). Late causative verb from  ικανος (verse 5) first aorist active indicative, "who (God) rendered us fit." In N.T. only here and Col 1:12.

 As ministers of a new covenant ( διακονους καινης διαθηκης ). Predicate accusative with  ικανωσεν. For  διαθηκη see on Mt 26:28 and for  διακονος on Mt 20:26 and for  καινης (fresh and effective) on Lu 5:38. Only God can make us that.
