Bits of Torah Truths – Paul Quotes the Torah Perspective on Legality of Witnesses – Episode 107

2 Corinthians 13:1
א זוֹ הַפַּעַם הַשְּׁלִישִׁית אָבוֹא אֲלֵיכֶם. ״עַל–פִּי שְׁנֵי עֵדִים אוֹ עַל–פִּי שְׁלֹשָׁה–עֵדִים יָקוּם דָּבָר.״ (דברים יט׳ טו׳)

Devarim / Deuteronomy 19:15
 טו לֹֽא־יָקוּם֩ עֵ֨ד אֶחָ֜ד בְּאִ֗ישׁ לְכָל־עָוֺן֙ וּלְכָל־חַטָּ֔את בְּכָל־חֵ֖טְא אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶֽחֱטָ֑א עַל־פִּ֣י׀ שְׁנֵ֣י עֵדִ֗ים א֛וֹ עַל־פִּ֥י שְׁלֹשָֽׁה־עֵדִ֖ים יָק֥וּם דָּבָֽר׃

2 Corinthians 13:1
13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (KJV)

Devarim / Deuteronomy 19:15 
19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. (KJV)

Here in 2 Corinthians 13:1 Paul quotes from Deuteronomy 19:15 to demonstrate the authority of having witnesses for judgment. Here obviously Paul is teaching how the Torah is the final say in regards to how we are to have witnesses for a court of law. The Torah has not passed away!
