15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(C) to us about this. First he says:

16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds.”[a](D)

17 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
    I will remember no more.”[b](E)

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
