Hebrews 8:6-10
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. 7 (D)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:[b]
(E)“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 (F)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 (G)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
