Hebrews 8

8
1Now 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 majesty in the heavens,
2A minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.
3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer.
4If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,
5Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.
6But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises.
7For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second.
8For finding fault with them, he saith: Behold, the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect unto the house of Israel, and unto the house of Juda, a new testament:
9Not according to the testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
11And 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 of them:
12Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
13Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.
