In the context of Hebrews, it refers to God's promise of a new covenant, as previously mentioned in the book. The author of Hebrews often quotes from the Old Testament to show the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus Christ. This particular addition underscores the completeness and finality of God's declaration.<p><b>“Their sins and lawless acts</b><br>"Sins" and "lawless acts" refer to the transgressions and violations of God's law by humanity. In the Jewish context, sin was understood as missing the mark of God's holiness, while lawless acts were specific violations of the Mosaic Law. The repetition of these terms emphasizes the totality of human disobedience. Theologically, this highlights the need for a savior who can address both the inherent sinfulness and the specific acts of disobedience.<p><b>I will remember no more.”</b><br>This phrase signifies God's promise of complete forgiveness and the removal of sins from His memory. In the ancient Near Eastern context, remembering often implied acting upon or holding something against someone. Therefore, God's choice to "remember no more" indicates a deliberate decision to not hold sins against the believer. This is a fulfillment of the prophecy found in <a href="/jeremiah/31-34.htm">Jeremiah 31:34</a>, which speaks of a new covenant where God will forgive iniquity. It also connects to the sacrificial system, where repeated sacrifices were a reminder of sin, contrasting with the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ that truly removes sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, emphasizing His role as the one who forgives and forgets sins.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_new_covenant.htm">The New Covenant</a></b><br>The context of this promise, highlighting the new relationship between God and humanity through Jesus Christ.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The original recipients of the Old Covenant, which is being contrasted with the New Covenant in this passage.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The mediator of the New Covenant, whose sacrifice makes the forgiveness of sins possible.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_author_of_hebrews.htm">The Author of Hebrews</a></b><br>Traditionally believed to be Paul or another early Christian leader, writing to Jewish Christians to encourage them in their faith.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_assurance_of_forgiveness.htm">The Assurance of Forgiveness</a></b><br>Believers can have confidence that their sins are forgiven and forgotten by God, providing peace and freedom from guilt.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_the_new_covenant.htm">The Power of the New Covenant</a></b><br>Understanding the superiority of the New Covenant through Christ's sacrifice encourages believers to live in the fullness of God's grace.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>Trust in God's promise to remember sins no more is a testament to His unchanging nature and faithfulness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_in_freedom.htm">Living in Freedom</a></b><br>Knowing that God does not hold past sins against us should inspire believers to live righteously and pursue holiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/e/encouragement_in_faith.htm">Encouragement in Faith</a></b><br>This promise serves as a source of encouragement for believers to remain steadfast in their faith, even amidst trials and temptations.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_hebrews_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Hebrews 10</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/can_god_forget_our_sins.htm">Can God forget our sins?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_temptation_and_sin_differ.htm">How do temptation and sin differ?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_simon_doubt_jesus'_acceptance.htm">What does 'Blot Out Our Transgressions' mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'blot_out'_mean.htm">What does "Blot Out Our Transgressions" mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(17) Every reader must feel that as these verses stand in the Authorised version the sense is imperfect. The words "after He hath said before" (<a href="/hebrews/10-15.htm" title="Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,">Hebrews 10:15</a>) imply "then He saith," or similar words, at some point in the verses which follow. Our translators did not attempt to complete the sense; for the marginal note ("some copies have, <span class= "ital">Then he saith, And their"</span>) found in ordinary editions was added at a later date.<span class= "note">[12]</span> By many commentators it is believed that the words "saith the Lord" (<a href="/hebrews/10-16.htm" title="This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;">Hebrews 10:16</a>) are intended as the completion of the sentence, so that no supplement is needed. This is, we think, very improbable. As it is the last part of the quotation that is taken up here, it is at the beginning of this verse that the explanatory words must come in: "<span class= "ital">Then He saith, </span>And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." This we have seen to be the crowning promise of the new covenant of which Jesus is the Mediator. When these words were first quoted (<a href="/hebrews/8-12.htm" title="For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.">Hebrews 8:12</a>), some important points in the argument were still untouched. Now the firm basis of the promise has been shown, for the covenant has been ratified by the death of Christ, and the blessings He has won for men are eternal (<a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm" title="And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.">Hebrews 9:15</a>; <a href="/hebrews/9-12.htm" title="Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.">Hebrews 9:12</a>).<p><span class= "note">[12] From Dr. Scrivener's "Cambridge Paragraph Bible<span class= "ital">"</span> (p. xxxii.) we learn that the note was added by Dr. Paris in the Cambridge Bible of 1762.
