14. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16. "This is the covenant I will make with themafter that time, says the Lord.I will put my laws in their hearts,and I will write them on their minds."
17. Then he adds:"Their sins and lawless actsI will remember no more."
18. And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
