9then He said, "BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”
17"AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."17Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
