16  “This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the LORD:

‘I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds.’”  (Jeremiah 31: 33) 

17  And then he says:

“I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer.”

18  So, when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.
