For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
For this, х autee (G846) autois (G846) hee (G3588) par' (G3844) emou (G1700) diatheekee (G1242)] - rather, 'And (again),' introducing a new quotation:
Is my covenant unto them, х ametameleeta (G278).] - 'this is the covenant from me unto them,'
When I shall take away their sins. This, we believe, is rather a brief summary of Jeremiah 31:31-34, than the express words of any prediction. Those who believe that there are no predictions regarding the literal Israel in the Old Testament that stretch beyond the end of the Jewish economy, are obliged to view these quotations by the apostle as mere adaptations of Old Testament language to express his own predictions (Alexander on Isaiah, for example). But how forced this is, we shall presently see. Third confirmation-from the Abrahamic covenant itself.
