1Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;Select Hebrews 8:1
2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.Select Hebrews 8:2
3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: why it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.Select Hebrews 8:3
4For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:Select Hebrews 8:4
5Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.Select Hebrews 8:5
6But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.Select Hebrews 8:6
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.Select Hebrews 8:7
8For finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:Select Hebrews 8:8
9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord.Select Hebrews 8:9
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:Select Hebrews 8:10
11And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.Select Hebrews 8:11
12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.Select Hebrews 8:12
13In that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away.Select Hebrews 8:13
