and as a mantle wilt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."

God also testifying together with them by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Spirit, according to his own will.

saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee."

and of faith in God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgement: (tho' we will do this also, if God permit:)

"Verily blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."

(for they indeed are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

as we see there was, for after complaining of them, He adds, "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

For I will forgive their crimes, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Let your conversation be free from covetousness, and be contented with what ye have: for He hath said, I will not leave thee; I will never, never forsake thee.

So that we may say with courage, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
