No man seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; otherwise, it's new patch teareth from the old, and the rent is made worse:


For there is indeed a disannulling of the preceding command, on account of it's weakness and unprofitableness;

Now by saying, a new covenant, He hath antiquated the first: and what is antiquated, and groweth old, is near it's exit.





Let no one therefore judge you on account of meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new-moon, or sabbaths; which are a shadow of good things to come, but the body is of Christ. Let no one deprive you of your reward by an affected humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into what he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his carnal mind; read more.
and not adhering to the head, from which all the body, being supplied and held together as by joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.

And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all the things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and Psalms, concerning me. Then He opened their mind, to understand the scriptures: and said unto them, thus it is written, and thus it was necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead on the third day; read more.
and that in his name should be preached repentance and remission of sins to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

For the law having but a faint shadow of good things to come, and not the full image of the things, can never, even by the great annual sacrifices which they offer statedly, make the comers thereunto perfect. For then they would have ceased to be offered, because the sacrificers, being once purified, would no longer retain any consciousness of sins. Whereas in these very sacrifices there is a recalling of sins to mind every year. read more.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore upon his coming into the world He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body hast thou prepared me: in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure: then said I, Lo I come, as in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God." Having said before, "Thou didst not desire, nor hadst pleasure in, sacrifice and offering, and whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin," (which are offered by the law) then He adds, "Lo I come to do thy will, O God." (He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.) By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And indeed every priest under the law standeth daily ministring, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but He having offered one sacrifice for sins, is for ever sat down at the right hand of God; waiting for the future, till his enemies be put under his feet. For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those that are sanctified.

but how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that thus it must be?

And He said unto them, O people void of understanding and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Was not the Messiah to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory? And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, He explained to them in all the scriptures the things that were spoken concerning Himself.

and cancelled the obligation we were under by ritual decrees, which was grievous to us, and hath taken it quite away, even nailing it to his cross. And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made them an open spectacle, triumphing over them by it. Let no one therefore judge you on account of meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new-moon, or sabbaths; read more.
which are a shadow of good things to come, but the body is of Christ.
