The new covenant
The new covenant – Hebrews 7:18-19, Hebrews 8:8-12
18 For there is verily a disannulling (displacement, setting aside) of the commandment going before (to lead forward, to proceed) for (on account of) the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Hebrews 8:8-12
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into (in companionship) their mind, and write them in (upon) their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness (wrong doing), and their sins and their iniquities (violations of the law) will (present and past tense)I remember no more.
