    6But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.

    7If that first covenant had been without fault, there would have been no need to seek a second one.

    8But finding fault with them, he says: 'Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.'

    9It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and so I turned away from them, declares the Lord.

    10This is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

    15Therefore, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

    16For where there is a will, it must be established that the death of the one who made it has occurred.

    17For a will takes effect only when someone has died; it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.

    18This is why even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

    1For the law, being only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those realities, can never, through the same sacrifices that are continually offered year after year, make those who draw near perfect.

    2Otherwise, wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having been cleansed once for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

    3But instead, these sacrifices serve as a reminder of sins year after year.
