    Open

    8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

    9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

    10For 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 write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

    11And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

    12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

    13In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

    Open

    9But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

    10Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

    11I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

  5. Galatians 5:1–6Rank 5 from verse 38
    Open

    1STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

    2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

    3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

    4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

    5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

    6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
