Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Hebrews 8
⁴ Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;
⁵ who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, "See," He says, "that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain."
⁶ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.
⁸ For finding fault with them, He says, "Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will effect a new covenant With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
⁹ Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day when I took them by the hand To lead them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care for them, says the Lord.
¹⁰ "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, And I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shall be My people.
¹¹ "And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, And everyone his brother, saying, ’Know the Lord,’ For all will know Me, From the least to the greatest of them.
¹² "For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more."
¹³ When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.
Hebrews 9
¹ Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.
