SCRIPTURE

"And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins." — Romans 11:27 (ASV)

My covenant (η παρ' εμου διαθηκη). "The from me covenant," "my side of the covenant I have made with them" (Sanday and Headlam). Cf. Jeremiah 31:31f.. Not a political deliverance, but a religious and ethical one.

When I shall take away (οταν αφελωμα). Second aorist middle subjunctive of αφαιρεω, old and common verb, to take away.
