20 He also took the cup, saying: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

27 And taking the cup and giving thanks He gave it to them saying: "Drink of it, all of you; 28 for this is my blood, that of the new covenant,* covenant. that which is being shed on behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.

17 so then, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old things have passed on; look, all has become new!* 18 And that ‘all’ is from the God who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus* Christ and given us the ministry of the reconciliation,* reconciliation—no other reconciling compares with reconciling men to God. 19 namely that in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself,* not imputing their trespasses to them, including committing to us the message of this reconciliation.

20 So then, we are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God! 21 Because He made the One who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become God’s righteousness.*

4 Now we have such confidence before God because of the Christ; 5 not that we are competent of ourselves to reckon anything as being from ourselves, but our competence is from God*— 6 indeed, He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant;* not of letter but of Spirit, because the letter kills, while the Spirit gives life.*

11 So then, remember that once you physical Gentiles—called ‘uncircumcision’ by the so-called ‘circumcision’ (that made in flesh with hands)— 12 that at that time you were apart from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise,* having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have come to be near through the blood of the Christ.
