| Jeremiah 31:33-34: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” | Both passages refer to God's covenant with His people. In Hebrews 10:16, God promises to put His laws on the hearts of His people and write them on their minds. In Jeremiah 31:33-34, God promises to put His law within His people and write it on their hearts. He also promises to forgive their iniquities and remember their sins no more. |
| Romans 11:27: “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” | Both passages refer to a covenant that God will make with His people. In Hebrews 10:16, God promises to put His laws in the hearts and minds of His people. In Romans 11:27, God promises to take away the sins of His people as part of the covenant.

| Hebrews 8:8-12: For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” | Both passages refer to God's covenant with the house of Israel and Judah. Hebrews 10:16 speaks of God's promise to put his laws on the hearts and minds of his people. Hebrews 8:8-12 expands on this promise, explaining that God will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and Judah, and will put his laws into their minds and write them on their hearts, so that everyone will know him and his mercy. |
