\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, not a man, set up.
|
|
|
|
\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 those who offer the gifts according to the law.
|
|
\v 5 They serve in a tabernacle that is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. It is just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to construct the tabernacle: God said, "See 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 much better ministry. It is just as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is based on better promises.
|
|
\v 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for 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 their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
|
|
\q For they did not continue in my covenant,
|
|
\q and I disregarded 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 be merciful to their acts of unrighteousness,
|
|
\q and I will not remember their sins any longer."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 13 By saying "new," he has made the first covenant old, and what has become outdated and old is near to disappearing.
