Hebrews 8:6-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 But Jesus[a] has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on the basis of better promises.(A) 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.(B)
8 God[b] finds fault with them when he says:
“The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,(C)
9 not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
for they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I had no concern for them, says the Lord.
10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.(D)
11 And they shall not teach one another
or say to each other,[c] ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.(E)
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins[d] no more.”(F)
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.(G)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.(A) 18 Consider the people of Israel:[a] Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?(B) 19 What do I imply, then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything or that an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what they[b] sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.(C) 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.(D)
