16. God, the inspirer and author of both Testaments, wisely arranged that the New Testament be hidden in the Old and the Old be made manifest in the New. (2) For, though Christ established the new covenant in His blood (see Luke 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:25), still the books of the Old Testament with all their parts, caught up into the proclamation of the Gospel, (3) acquire and show forth their full meaning in the New Testament (see Matt. 5:17; Luke 24:27; Rom. 16:25-26; 2 Cor. 14:16) and in turn shed light on it and explain it.
16. Mungu, mvuviaji na mtunzi wa vitabu vya Maagano yote mawili, alipanga kwa hekima ili Agano Jipya lifichike ndani ya Agano la Kale na Agano la Kale lifunuliwe katika Agano Jipya[29]. Kwa sababu hiyo, hata kama Kristo alifanya Agano Jipya katika damu yake (taz. Lk 22:20; 1Kor 11:25), vitabu vyote vya Agano la Kale, vikichukuliwa katika hali yao nzima[30] katika ujumbe wa Injili, vinapata na kuonyesha maana yao timilifu katika Agano Jipya (taz. Mt 5:17; Lk 24:27; Rum 16:25-26; 2Kor 3:14-16), navyo [vitabu vya Agano la Kale] pia, kwa upande wao, vinaliangaza na kulieleza Agano Jipya. Sura ya Tano
