Verse 15

15. The Greek, has "moreover," or "now."

is a witness—of the truth which I am setting forth. The Father's witness is given :-. The Son's, Hebrews 10:5. Now is added that of the Holy Spirit, called accordingly "the Spirit of grace," Hebrews 10:29. The testimony of all Three leads to the same conclusion (Hebrews 10:29- :).

for after that he had said before—The conclusion to the sentence is in Hebrews 10:29- :, "After He had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them (with the house of Israel, Hebrews 8:10; here extended to the spiritual Israel) . . . saith the Lord; I will put (literally, 'giving,' referring to the giving of the law; not now as then, giving into the hands, but giving) My laws into their hearts ('mind,' Hebrews 8:10) and in their minds ('hearts,' Hebrews 8:10- :); I will inscribe (so the Greek) them (here He omits the addition quoted in Hebrews 8:10; Hebrews 8:11, I will be to them a God . . . and they shall not teach every man his neighbor . . .), and (that is, after He had said the foregoing, HE THEN ADDS) their sins . . . will I remember no more." The great object of the quotation here is to prove that, there being in the Gospel covenant, "REMISSION of sins" (Hebrews 10:17), there is no more need of a sacrifice for sins. The object of the same quotation in Hebrews 8:8-13 is to show that, there being a "NEW covenant," the old is antiquated.
