The Law and the Promise
15 sTo give a human example, brothers: ▼▼Or brothers and sisters
ueven with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Galatians 3:17

when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel

10 ajFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and akwrite them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
