ACC ~ Hebrews 8 v10 - 11

THE APOSTLES RECEIVED NOTHING IN WRITING. CHRYSOSTOM: “No longer,” he says, “shall the covenant be in writings, but in hearts.” Let the Jew, in that case, show if this was ever carried into effect, but he could not, for it was made a second time in writings after the return from Babylon. But I show that the apostles received nothing in writing, but received it in their hearts through the Holy Ghost. Therefore also Christ said, “When he comes, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS 14.5.

HOW TO WITHDRAW FROM PROPER RELIGION? OECUMENIUS: For that this is the case is clear from this reason: Who would have easily persuaded someone in the Old Testament to withdraw from the proper religion? To the contrary Israel, being full of unbelief, changed their knowledge of God for error. FRAGMENTS ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS 8.10.

ALL SHALL KNOW ME. THEODORET OF CYR: This does not happen in this life, but will happen in that: those still beset with the gloom of unbelief will see the truth there, and will be smitten, in keeping with the divine oracle. INTERPRETATION OF HEBREWS 8.

A HOLY RENTAL AGREEMENT. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: [He bestows] on us the truly great, divine and inalienable inheritance of the Father, deifying us by heavenly teaching, putting his laws into our minds and writing them on our hearts. What laws does he inscribe? “That all shall know God, from small to great”; and, “I will be merciful to them,” says God, “and will not remember their sins.” Let us receive the laws of life, let us comply with God’s exhortations; let us become ac-quainted with him, that he may be gracious. And though God needs nothing, let us give him the grateful compensation of a thankful heart and of a holy life as a kind of rental payment for our dwelling here below. EXHORTATION TO THE HEATHEN 11.
