Hebrews 8:4-10

New International Version

⁴If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.^(A) ⁵They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy^(B) and shadow^(C) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned^(D) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”^[a]^(E) ⁶But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant^(F) of which he is mediator^(G) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

⁷For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.^(H) ⁸But God found fault with the people and said^[b]:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will make a new covenant^(I)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
⁹It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors^(J)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
¹⁰This is the covenant^(K) I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.^(L)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(M)
