Hebrews 8

8Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such ^aan high priest, ^bwho is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty ^cin the heavens; ^2dA minister ^||of ^ethe sanctuary, and of ^fthe true tabernacle, which the Lord ^gpitched, and not man. ^3hFor every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have ⁱsomewhat also to offer. ⁴For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that ^||there are priests that offer ^hgifts according to the law: ⁵Who serve unto ^jthe example and ^kshadow of heavenly things, as Moses ^lwas admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, ^mSee, ⁿsaith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. ⁶But now hath he obtained a ^omore excellent ^pministry, by how much also he is ^qthe mediator of a ^rbetter ^||scovenant, which was ^testablished upon ^rbetter promises.

⁷For ^uif that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. ⁸For finding fault with them, ⁿhe saith, ^vBehold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new ^scovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: ⁹Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I ^wtook 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. ¹⁰For ^xthis is ^sthe covenant that I will ^xxmake 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: 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. ¹²For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, ^yand their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. ¹³In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ^zready to vanish away.
