strkjv - Hebrews - 8
1 Now 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;
2 A
minister of the
sanctuary,
and of the
true tabernacle,
which the
Lord pitched ,
and not man.
3 For every high
priest is
ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices:
wherefore it is of
necessity that this
man have somewhat also to offer .
4 For if he
were on earth, he
should not be a
priest, seeing that there
are priests that
offer gifts according to the
law:
5 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.
6 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.
7 For if that first covenant had
been faultless, then
should no place have been
sought for the
second.
8 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:
9 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.
10 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:
11 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 .
12 For I will
be merciful to
their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their iniquities will I
remember no more.
13 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.
