27 And this shall be my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins.
27 And this shalbe my couenaunt to them, when I shall take away their sinnes.
25 I would not have you ignorant. Here he prepareth his auditors unto greater attention, whiles he professeth that he will utter a thing which otherwise is secrete. Neither doeth he that without cause: for he goeth about to conclude this exceeding hard question, in a brief and plain sentence: and yet he openeth that, no man would ever have looked for. But the causal particle, least ye should be arrogant in your selves, doth declare what his purpose is now: namely to bridle the insolencie of the Gentiles, least they should wax proud against the Jews. Furthermore, this admonition was very necessary, least the falling away of that people, should trouble the weak above measure, as though the salvation of them all were for ever to be despaired of. Although the same at this day is no less profitable for us, to the end we might know, that the salvation of a number left, which the Lord at length will gather unto him self, lieth hid as it were sealed with a signet.
25 I woulde not haue you ignoraunt. Here he prepareth his auditours vnto greater attentiō, whiles he professeth that he will vtter a thing which otherwise is secrete. Neither doeth hee that without cause: for hee goeth about to conclude this exceeding harde question, in a briefe and playne sentence: and yet he openeth that, no man woulde euer haue looked for. But the causall particle, least yee shoulde bee arrogant in your selues, doth declare what his purpose is now: namely to brydle the insolencie of the Gentiles, least they shoulde waxe proud against the Iewes. Furthermore, this admonition was verie necessarie, least the falling away of that people, shoulde trouble the weake aboue measure, as though the saluation of them all were for euer to bee despaired of. Although the same at this day is no lesse profitable for vs, to the ende wee might knowe, that the saluation of a nomber left, which the Lorde at length will gather vnto him selfe, lyeth hidde as it were sealed with a signet.
