N<\/span>ow of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took 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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>For this is the covenant that I will make 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:<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>And 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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.<\/span> <\/p>\n
