The Apostle having in general declared the abrogation of the old covenant, in regard of the weakness thereof, doth in this and the two verses following, distinctly describe the new covenant which succeedeth in the room of that which is abrogated. The description following showeth the new covenant to be so excellent an one, as it night well be substituted in the room of the other: and thereupon introduceth it with this causal particle FOR; or abecause he thus beginneth his description. This is the covenant, giving us hereby to understand that Christians ought to be distinctly and fully informed in the privileges belonging unto them. For this very end were the writings of the Evangelists and Apostles added to the Prophets.
