Justified

I have begun translating some of the De Substantia by Caspar Olevian, primarily to work on my Latin, but secondarily for all your guys' edification. No promises on how far I will go or how much I'll post, but here is what I did in a short time this morning.
1. God had promised through the prophet Jeremiah that He would make a new covenant with us, not according to that covenant which he made with our fathers, when he led them out of the land of Egypt: because they made void that covenant. This will be the covenant: that He will put his law in us and write it on our hearts; and He will be unto us our God, and we ourselves will be His people; because He will forgive our iniquity and remember our sins no more (Je. 31, He. 8). This kind of covenant promises to us knowledge of the true God, which also embraces the free remission of our sins in Christ and also the renewal of man into the image of God and the covenant produces this of itself.
Edit: Improvements made at Rev. Winzer's suggestion.
