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 unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.Select Hebrews 8:5
6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon 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 saith, Behold, the days come, saith 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, saith the Lord.Select Hebrews 8:9
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith 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 neighbour, 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 saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.Select Hebrews 8:13
