Hebrews 8:6
English Standard Version
6 But as it is, Christ[a] has obtained a ministry that is (A)as much more excellent than the old as (B)the covenant (C)he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

Galatians 3:16-21
English Standard Version
16 Now (A)the promises were made (B)to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, (C)“And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came (D)430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as (E)to make the promise void. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but (F)God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
19 Why then the law? (G)It was added because of transgressions, (H)until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was (I)put in place through angels (J)by an intermediary. 20 Now (K)an intermediary implies more than one, but (L)God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For (M)if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

Hebrews 8:7-13
English Standard Version
7 (A)For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
8 For he finds fault with them when he says:[a]
(B)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 (C)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and (D)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall (E)all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
(F)and I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And (G)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

2 Corinthians 3:6-11
English Standard Version
6 who has made us sufficient to be (A)ministers of (B)a new covenant, not of (C)the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but (D)the Spirit gives life.
7 Now if (E)the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory (F)that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9 For if there was glory in (G)the ministry of condemnation, (H)the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

Hebrews 9:15-20
English Standard Version
15 Therefore he is (A)the mediator of a new covenant, so that (B)those who are called may (C)receive the promised eternal inheritance, (D)since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.[a] 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For (E)a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated (F)without blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took (G)the blood of calves and goats, (H)with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (I)“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.”
