  • 2 Cor 3:6-9 : 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 If the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not look intently at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was passing away, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness far exceeds it in glory. 10 Indeed, what once had glory now has no glory at all because of the surpassing glory. 11 For if what was passing away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of what remains!
  • Gal 3:16-21 : 16 Now to Abraham the promises were spoken, and to his seed. It does not say, 'and to seeds,' as if referring to many, but, 'and to your seed,' meaning one, who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus cancel the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God gave it to Abraham through a promise. 19 Why, then, was the law given? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. It was administered through angels by a mediator. 20 Now a mediator implies more than one party, but God is one. 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 No longer will they teach their neighbors or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more. 13 By calling this covenant 'new,' he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
  • Heb 9:15-20 : 15 Therefore, 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. 16 For where there is a will, it must be established that the death of the one who made it has occurred. 17 For a will takes effect only when someone has died; it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to follow.'
  • Titus 1:2 : 2 In the hope of eternal life, which the God who does not lie promised before the beginning of time.

    15And this becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

    16one who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

    17For it is testified: 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'

    18The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless,

    19(for the law made nothing perfect), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

    20And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,

    21but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: 'The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: You are a priest forever.'

    22Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

    1Now here is the main point: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.

    2He serves in the holy place and the true tabernacle, which was set up by the Lord and not by man.

    3Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

    4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

    5These priests serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he was about to set up the tabernacle. For God said, 'See that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.'

    11If perfection could have been achieved through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), why was there still a need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron?
