Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." — Ezekiel 36:26 (ASV)

A new heart.— Compare Ezekiel 11:18-20, where the same promise is given, although somewhat less fully than here. On the expression “heart of flesh,” see the Note there on Ezekiel 36:19. With this prophetic preaching of the Gospel compare Jeremiah 31:31-34, and particularly the connection of that passage with the temporal promises in its continuation (Ezekiel 36:35–38).
