Hebrews 8:13

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

Ver. 13. He hath made the first old ] He hath antiquated and abolished it. This the apostle often inculcates, because the Jews went about to establish their own righteousness, and it is a piece of Popery natural to us all, to think to go to heaven by our good meanings and good doings.

Is ready to vanish away ] So is the old man in God’s people; that is their comfort.
