build each other up with action

As I read 2 Corinthians chapter three – what I know to be true has an added element – I am not to build anyone up in my own strength but from the competence that comes from God.

Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. – 2 Corinthians 3:5-6  ESV

I need to remember this as I engage in helping another person grow.
