Covenant (theology)

Famous quotes containing the word covenant:

    “Do not say to yourself, “My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 8:17,18.
