  1. Hebrews 9:15 The Greek word means both covenant and will; also verses 16, 17

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. (D)For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

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,
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.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
    and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall (H)all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
    (I)and I will remember their sins no more.”

13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And (J)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

16 (A)The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? (B)The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are (C)one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider (D)the people of Israel:[a] (E)are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? 19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that (F)an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice (G)they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 (H)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and (I)the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and (J)the table of demons.
