Covenant
Hebrews 8:6
But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant…


The general meaning of the word διαθήκη, covenant, is a Divine institution for man; it is not συνθήκη, or compact between two parties. God has the ordering of all, and therefore covenant and dispensation are really the same.

(W. B. Pope, D. D.)
