TESTAMENT
In Scripture, usually signifies covenant, and not a man’s last will, Matthew 26:28. Both meanings are blended, however, in Hebrews 1:9-17. Paul speaks of the New Testament, or covenant, in the blood of the Redeemer; and calls the law the old covenant, and the gospel the new covenant, 1 Corinthians 1:1-16; 1 Corinthians 1:11 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 1:3 Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 1:10; Hebrews 1:12. See BIBLE, and COVENANT.
