\s5

\c 8
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 Now the point of what we are saying is this: we have a high priest who has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.
|
|
\v 2 He is a servant in the holy place, the true tabernacle that the Lord set up, not any mortal person.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary to have something to offer.
|
|
\v 4 Now if Christ were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are already those who offer the gifts according to the law.
|
|
\v 5 They serve something that is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to construct the tabernacle: "See," God said, "that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 6 But now Christ has received a superior ministry because he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.
|
|
\v 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then there would have been no need to seek a second covenant.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 For when God found fault with the people, he said,
|
|
\q "'See, the days are coming,' says the Lord,
|
|
\q 'when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
|
|
\q on the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
|
|
\q For they did not continue in my covenant,
|
|
\q and I paid no more attention to them,' says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 'For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
|
|
\q after those days,' says the Lord.
|
|
\q 'I will put my laws into their minds,
|
|
\q and I will also write them on their hearts.
|
|
\q I will be their God,
|
|
\q and they will be my people.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 They will not teach each one his neighbor
|
|
\q and each one his brother, saying, "Know the Lord,"
|
|
\q for all will know me,
|
|
\q from the least to the greatest of them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 For I will show mercy on their acts of unrighteousness,
|
|
\q and I will remember their sins no more.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 13 In saying "new," he has made the first covenant old. And that which he has declared to be old is ready to disappear.
