- the covenant:
- "Inclineª° your ear,ª and come²°¹ unto¹ me: hear,ª° and your soulª shall live;ª° and I will makeª° an everlastingª covenantª with you, [even] the sureª° merciesª of David.ª" {Isa 55:3} + "Although¹ my houseª [be] not¹ so¹ with¹ God;ª yet¹ he hath madeª° with me an everlastingª covenant,ª orderedª° in all¹ [things], and sure:ª° for¹ [this is] all¹ my salvation,ª and all¹ [my] desire,ª although¹ he make [it] not¹ to grow.ª°" {2Sm 23:5} + "Nevertheless my lovingkindnessª will I not¹ utterly takeª° from¹¹ him, nor¹ suffer my faithfulness² to fail.ª°¹ ... My covenantª will I not¹ break,ª° nor¹ alterª° the thing that is gone outª of my lips.ª" {Psa 89:33-34} + "My covenantª was¹ with¹ him of lifeª and peace;ª and I gaveª° them to him [for] the fearª wherewith he fearedª° me, and was afraidª° beforeª¹ my name.ª" {Mal 2:5} + "Butª nowª hath he obtainedª° a more excellentª ministry,ª by how muchª alsoª he isª° the mediatorª of a betterª covenant,ª whichª was establishedª° uponª betterª promises.ª ... In² that he saith,ª° A newª [covenant], he hath made²° the first² old.ª°¹¹ Nowª that which decayethª° andª waxeth oldª° [is] ready² to vanish away.ª¹" {Hbr 8:6-13} + "Nowª the¹ Godª of peace,ª that brought againª° fromª the deadª ourª Lordª Jesus,ª that greatª shepherdª of the¹ sheep,ª throughª the bloodª of the everlastingª covenant,ª ... Make²° you² perfectª°¹ inª everyª goodª workª to² doª° his²¹ will,ª workingª° inª youª that which is wellpleasingª in his² sight,ª¹ throughª Jesusª Christ;ª to whomª [be] gloryª for² ever² and ever.ª¹ Amen.ª" {Hbr 13:20-21}
