1Now[G1161]of[G1909] the things which we have[G2192]spoken[G3004] this is the sum[G2774]: We have[G2192]such[G5108] an high priest[G749], who[G3739] is set[G2523]on[G1722] the right hand[G1188]of[G1909] the throne[G2362]of[G1909] the Majesty[G3172]in[G1722] the heavens[G3772];
2
A minister[G3011] of the sanctuary[G39], and[G2532] of the true[G228]tabernacle[G4633], which[G3739] the Lord[G2962]pitched[G4078], and[G2532]not[G3756]man[G444].
3For[G1063]every[G3956] high priest[G749] is ordained[G2525]to[G1519]offer[G4374]gifts[G1435]and[G5037]sacrifices[G2378]: wherefore[G3606] it is of necessity[G316] that this man[G5126]have[G2192]somewhat[G5100]also[G2532]to[G3739]offer[G4374].
4For[G1063]if[G1487] he were[G2258]on[G1909]earth[G1093], he should[G302]not[G3761]be[G2258] a priest[G2409], seeing that there are[G5607]priests[G2409] that offer[G4374]gifts[G1435]according[G2596] to the law[G3551]:
5Who[G3748]serve[G3000] unto the example[G5262]and[G2532]shadow[G4639] of heavenly things[G2032], as[G2531]Moses[G3475] was admonished of God[G5537] when he[G5346] was about[G3195]to[G2596]make[G2005] the tabernacle[G4633]: for[G1063], See[G3708], saith he[G5346], that thou make[G4160] all things[G3956] according to[G2596] the pattern[G5179]shewed[G1166]to[G2596]thee[G4671]in[G1722] the mount[G3735].
6But[G1161]now[G3570] hath he obtained[G5177] a more excellent[G1313]ministry[G3009], by how much[G3745]also[G2532] he is[G2076] the mediator[G3316] of a better[G2909]covenant[G1242], which[G3748] was established[G3549]upon[G1909]better[G2909]promises[G1860].
7For[G1063]if[G1487]that[G1565]first[G4413] covenant had been[G2258]faultless[G273], then should[G302]no[G3756]place[G5117] have been[G2258]sought[G2212]for[G1063] the second[G1208].
8For[G1063] finding fault[G3201]with[G1909]them[G846], he saith[G3004], Behold[G2400], the days[G2250]come[G2064], saith[G3004] the Lord[G2962], when[G2532] I will make[G4931] a new[G2537]covenant[G1242]with[G1909] the house[G3624] of Israel[G2474]and[G2532]with[G1909] the house[G3624] of Judah[G2455]:
9Not[G3756] according to[G2596] the covenant[G1242]that[G3739]I[G2504] made with[G4160]their[G846]fathers[G3962]in[G1722] the day[G2250] when I[G2504]took[G1949]them[G846] by the hand[G3450]to[G2596]lead[G1806]them[G846] out of[G1537] the land[G1093]of[G1537]Egypt[G125]; because[G3754]they[G846]continued[G1696]not[G272]in[G1722]my[G3450]covenant[G1242], and I[G2504]regarded[G272]them[G846]not[G272], saith[G3004] the Lord[G2962].
10For[G3754]this[G3778] is the covenant[G1242]that[G3739] I will make[G1303] with the house[G3624] of Israel[G2474]after[G3326]those[G1565]days[G2250], saith[G3004] the Lord[G2962]; I will put[G1325]my[G3450]laws[G3551]into[G1519]their[G846]mind[G1271], and[G2532]write[G1924]them[G846]in[G1909]their[G846]hearts[G2588]: and[G2532] I will be[G2071]to[G1519]them[G846] a God[G2316], and[G2532]they[G846] shall be[G2071]to[G1519]me[G3427] a people[G2992]:
11And[G2532] they shall[G1321]not[G3364]teach[G1321] every man[G1538]his[G846]neighbour[G4139], and[G2532] every man[G1538]his[G846]brother[G80], saying[G3004], Know[G1097] the Lord[G2962]: for[G3754]all[G3956]shall[G1321]know[G1492]me[G3165], from[G575] the least[G3398]to[G2193] the greatest[G3173].
12For[G3754] I will be[G2071]merciful[G2436] to their[G846]unrighteousness[G93], and[G2532]their[G846]sins[G266]and[G2532]their[G846]iniquities[G458] will I remember[G3415]no[G3364]more[G2089].
13In[G1722] that he saith[G3004], A new[G2537] covenant, he hath made[G3822] the first[G4413]old[G3822]. Now[G1161] that which decayeth[G3822]and[G2532] waxeth old[G1095] is ready[G1451] to vanish away[G854].
