11. That another dispensation
and a new covenant was to be given.
In Jeremiah: “Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, and I will complete for the house of Israel, and for
the house of Judah, a new testament, not according to the testament
which I ordered with their fathers in that day in which I took hold of
their hands to bring them out of the land of Egypt, because they
remained not in my testament, and I disregarded them, saith the
Lord: Because this is the testament which I will establish with
the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give
them my laws, and into their minds I will write them; and I will be to
them for a God, and they shall be to me for a people; and they shall
not teach every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all
shall know me, from the least even to the greatest of them: for I
will be merciful to their iniquities, and will no more be mindful of
their sins.”
