6 But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.7 For if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second.

13 By calling the covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and whatever is becoming obsolete and aged, is near to vanishing.

22 And by so much Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant.

20 He gave them a cup in like manner, after supper saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for your sake.

27 And when he had taken the cup and given thanks, he gave it to them, saying.28 "Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through his eternal spirit offered himself free from blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works unto the service of an ever-living God!15 And because of this he is the Mediator of a new testament, in order that, since a death has taken place to atone for offenses committed under the first testament, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

16 For where there is a testament, there must also be brought forward in evidence the death of the testator.17 For a testament is only of force in case of the dead, being never valid so long as the testator lives.18 Accordingly we find that not without blood was the first testament enacted.19 For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.20 saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.

1 For the Law, being only a shadow of the good things to come, and not their very substance, its priests cannot with the same sacrifice which year after year they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.2 Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshippers having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sin.3 But on the other hand, in these sacrifices sins are called to memory, year after year.4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.

17 So there is a new creation when any man is in Christ. The old life has passed away, behold, the new is come.18 And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;19 how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.20 On Christs behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christs behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.21 Him who knew no sin, in our behalf he has made to be sin; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

4 Such confidence I have through Christ before God.5 Not that I am sufficient in myself to reach any conclusion in my own wisdom; but my sufficiency is from God.6 It is he who has also made me sufficient as a minister of a new covenant; not of a letter but of a spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit makes alive.

11 Do not forget then, that you Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by the "circumcision" made in flesh by mans hand,12 were once upon a time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the Promise, without hope and without God in the world.13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
