For although the Old Testament is\r\nprior in point of time, the New has the precedence in intrinsic\r\nvalue; for the Old acts the part of herald to the New. We\r\nshall therefore first cite passages from the New Testament,\r\nand confirm them by quotations from the Old Testament.\r\nThe Old contains the law and the prophets, the New the gospel\r\nand the apostolic epistles. Now the apostle says, \"By the\r\nlaw is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of\r\nGod without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the\r\nlaw and the prophets; now the righteousness of God is by\r\nfaith of Jesus Christ upon all them that believe.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_681_681\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_681_681\">[681]</a> This\r\nrighteousness of God belongs to the New Testament, and\r\nevidence for it exists in the old books, that is to say, in\r\nthe law and the prophets.
