        Hebrews 8
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         
      
      
        <b>1.  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high 
        priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and 
        not man.
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of 
        necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests 
        that offer gifts according to the law:
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  Who serve unto 
      
      
        <b>the example and shadow of heavenly things</b>
      
      
        , as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith 
        he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  But now hath he obtained a 
      
      
        <b>more excellent ministry</b>
      
      
        , by how much also he is the mediator of a 
      
      
        <b>better covenant</b>
      
      
        , which was established upon 
      
      
        <b>better promises.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought 
        for the second.
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when 
      
      
        <b>I will make a new covenant </b>
      
      
        with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took 
        them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my 
        covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, 
        saith the Lord;
      
      
        <b> I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: </b>
      
      
        and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 
        Know the Lord: for 
      
      
        <b>all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities 
        will I remember no more.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  In that he saith,
      
      
        <b> A new covenant, he hath made the first old</b>
      
      
        . Now 
      
      
        <b>that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.</b>
      
    <br/>
