Hebrews 8:6-13

Hebrews 8:6-13 CEB

But now, Jesus has received a superior priestly service just as he arranged a better covenant that is enacted with better promises. If the first covenant had been without fault, it wouldn’t have made sense to expect a second. But God did find fault with them, since he says, “ Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, ” “ when I will make a covenant with the house of Israel, ” “ and I will make a new covenant with the house of Judah. ” “ It will not be like the covenant that 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 continue to keep my covenant, ” “ and I lost interest in them, says the Lord. ” “ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel ” “ after those days, says the Lord. ” “ I will place my laws in their minds, ” “ and write them on their hearts. ” “ I will be their God, ” “ and they will be my people. ” “ And each person won’t ever teach a neighbor ” “ or their brother or sister, saying, ” “ Know the Lord, ” “ because they will all know me, ” “ from the least important of them to the most important; ” “ because I will be lenient toward their unjust actions, ” “ and I won’t remember their sins anymore. ” When it says new, it makes the first obsolete. And if something is old and outdated, it’s close to disappearing.
