Chapter 7: Of God’s Covenant with Man
1. Reasoning[1] creatures owe obedience to God as their Creator. However, the distance between God and any creature is so great that they could never have any enjoyment of Him as their blessedness and reward, except by some voluntary condescension on God’s part. This condescension He has been pleased to express by way of covenant.
Isaiah 40:13–17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 9:32–33 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Samuel 2:25 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 113:5–6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 100:2–3 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 22:2–3 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 35:7–8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 17:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 17:24–25 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works,a in which life was promised to Adam, and in him to his posterity,b upon condition of perfect and personal obedience.c

3. Man, by his fall, made himself incapable of life by that covenant. Thus the Lord was pleased to make a second,a commonly called the covenant of grace. In it, He freely offers to sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in Him that they may be saved.b He further promises to all those who are ordained to life that He will give His Holy Spirit to make them willing and able to believe.c

4. This covenant of grace is frequently set forth in Scripture by the name of a Testament [will], in reference to the death of Jesus Christ the Testator [maker of a will], and to the everlasting inheritance, with all things belonging to it that are bequeathed [granted] by the will.
Hebrews 9:15–17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 7:22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 22:20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 11:25 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. This covenant was differently administered in the time of the law than in the time of the Gospel.a Under the law, it was administered by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcision, the paschal lamb, and other types[2] and ordinances delivered to the people of the Jews. All these pointed forward to Christ to come.b And they were, for that time, sufficient and efficacious through the operation of the Spirit to instruct and build up the elect in faith in the promised Messiah,c by whom they had full remission of sins and eternal salvation. The covenant under this administration is called the Old Testament.d

3:7–9, 14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
6. Under the Gospel, when Christ, the substance,[3], a was exhibited,[4] the ordinances in which this covenant is administered are the preaching of the Word and the administration of the sacraments[5] of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.b The ordinances are fewer in number and administered with more simplicity and less outward glory; yet in them, the covenant is held forth in more fullness, evidence, and spiritual efficacyc to all nations, both Jews and Gentiles.d The covenant under this administration is called the New Testament.e There are not therefore two covenants of grace differing in substance, but one and the same covenant under different dispensations.f

bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales; behold, he takes up the

Romans 5:12–20 (ESV) Back
12Therefore, just as sin came into the world
through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because
all sinned— 13for sin indeed was in the world before the law was
given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type
of the one who was to come. 15But the free gift is not like the
trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace
of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for
many. 16And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the
judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift
following many trespasses brought justification. 17For if, because of one man’s trespass,
death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the
abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the
one man Jesus Christ. 18Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for
all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all
men. 19For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the
one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20Now the law came in to increase the
trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Romans 5:12-20 (KJ3) Back
12 Because of this, even as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed
to all men, inasmuch as all sinned.
13 For sin was in the world
until Law, but sin is not imputed there not being law;
14 but death reigned from Adam
until Moses, even on the ones not sinning on the likeness of Adam’s
transgression, who is a type of the One coming.
15 But not as the deviation, so
also is the free gift. For if by the deviation of the one the many died, much
more the grace of God, and the gift in grace, which is of the one Man,
Jesus Christ, abounded to the many.
16 And the gift is not as
through one having sinned; for indeed the judgment was of one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many deviations to justification.
17 For if by the deviation of the
one death reigned through the one, much more the ones receiving the
abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by the
One, Jesus Christ.
18 So therefore, as through one
deviation came to all men to condemnation, so also through one effected
righteousness came to all men to justification of life.
19 For as through the one man’s
disobedience the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience
of the One the many shall be constituted righteous.
20 But Law came in besides, that
the deviation might abound; but where sin abounded, grace much more abounded,
Romans 5:12–20 (NASB95) Back
12Therefore, just as through one man sin
entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men,
because all sinned— 13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is
not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until
Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of
Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15But the free gift is not like the
transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more
did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ,
abound to the many. 16The gift is not like that which came through the
one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression
resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many
transgressions resulting in justification. 17For if by the transgression of the one,
death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus
Christ. 18So then as through one transgression there
resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness
there resulted justification of life to all men. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience
the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many
will be made righteous. 20The Law came in so that the transgression would
increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Romans 5:12-20 (WEB) Back
12 Therefore as sin entered into the world
through one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all men, because all
sinned.
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but
sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until
Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a
foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 But the free gift isn’t like the trespass.
For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of
God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the
many.
16 The gift is not as through one who sinned:
for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many
trespasses to justification.
17 For if by the trespass of the one, death
reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus
Christ.
18 So then as through one trespass, all men
were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were
justified to life.
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience
many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be
made righteous.
20 The law came in besides, that the trespass
might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

Hebrews 8–10 (ESV) Back
8:1Now the point in what we are saying is
this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2a minister in the holy places, in the true
tent that the Lord set up, not man. 3For every high priest is appointed to
offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have
something to offer. 4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest
at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5They
serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to
erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything
according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” 6But as
it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the
old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better
promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless,
there would have been no occasion to look for a second. 8For he finds fault with them when he says:
“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, 9not 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. 10For
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 write them on
their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 11And
they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying,
‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the
greatest. 12For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more.” 13In speaking of a new covenant, he makes
the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready
to vanish away. 9:1Now even the first covenant had regulations for
worship and an earthly place of holiness. 2For a tent was prepared, the first
section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the
Presence. It is called the Holy Place. 3Behind the second curtain was a second
section called the Most Holy Place, 4having the golden altar of incense and the
ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn
holding the manna, and Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the
covenant. 5Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing
the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6These
preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first
section, performing their ritual duties, 7but into the second only the high priest
goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for
himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the
way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is
still standing 9(which is symbolic for the present age). According
to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the
conscience of the worshiper, 10but deal only with food and drink and
various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of
reformation. 11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the
good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not
made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12he entered once for all into the holy
places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own
blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and
the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the
purification of the flesh, 14how much more will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify
our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. 15Therefore he is the mediator of a new
covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal
inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the
transgressions committed under the first covenant. 16For where a will is involved, the death of
the one who made it must be established. 17For a will takes effect only at death,
since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18Therefore
not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.
19For when every
commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took
the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20saying, “This is the blood of the covenant
that God commanded for you.” 21And in the same way he sprinkled with the
blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. 22Indeed, under the law almost everything is
purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness
of sins. 23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the
heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things
themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy
places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25Nor was
it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every
year with blood not his own, 26for then he would have had to suffer
repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared
once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of
himself. 27And just as it is appointed for man to die once,
and after that comes judgment, 28so Christ, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to
save those who are eagerly waiting for him. 10:1For since the law has but a shadow of the
good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never,
by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect
those who draw near. 2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be
offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have
any consciousness of sins? 3But in these sacrifices there is a
reminder of sins every year. 4For it is impossible for the blood of
bulls and goats to take away sins. 5Consequently, when Christ came into the
world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have
you prepared for me; 6in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have
taken no pleasure. 7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will,
O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ” 8When he
said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and
offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according
to the law), 9then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your
will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10And by
that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all. 11And every priest stands daily at his service,
offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But when
Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the
right hand of God, 13waiting from that time until his enemies should be
made a footstool for his feet. 14For by a single offering he has perfected
for all time those who are being sanctified. 15And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to
us; for after saying, 16“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and
write them on their minds,” 17then he adds, “I will remember their sins
and their lawless deeds no more.” 18Where there is forgiveness of these, there
is no longer any offering for sin. 19Therefore, brothers, since we have
confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,
20by the new and
living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his
flesh, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts
sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us
hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is
faithful. 24And let us consider how to stir up one another to
love and good works, 25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit
of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day
drawing near. 26For if we go on sinning deliberately after
receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for
sins, 27but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume
the adversaries. 28Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies
without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29How much worse punishment, do you think,
will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned
the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the
Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I
will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God. 32But recall the former days when, after you
were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33sometimes
being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners
with those so treated. 34For you had compassion on those in prison, and you
joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you
yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35Therefore do not throw away your
confidence, which has a great reward. 36For you have need of endurance, so that
when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37For,
“Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; 38but my
righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no
pleasure in him.” 39But we are not of those who shrink back and are
destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
Hebrews 8-10 (KJ3) Back
1¶ Now the main point over
the things being said: We have such a High Priest, who sat down on the right
of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven,†
2 Minister of the Holy of Holies,
and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is set in
place to offer both gifts and sacrifices; from which it is necessary for
this One also to have something which He may offer.
4 For if indeed He were on earth,
He would not even be a priest, there being priests, the ones offering
gifts according to the Law,
5 who serve the pattern of and
shadow of heavenly things, even as Moses was divinely warned, being about to
complete the tabernacle: For “See,” He says, “that you make all things
according to the pattern, the one being shown to you in the mountain.Ӡ
6¶ But now He has gotten a more
excellent ministry, also by so much as He is a Mediator of a better covenant,
which has been enacted on better promises.
7 For if that first covenant was
faultless, place would not have been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault, He said to
them, “Behold, days come, says the Lord, and I will bequeath on the
house of Israel and on the house of Judah a new covenant,
9 not according to the covenant
which I made with their fathers in the day of My taking hold of their
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My
covenant, and I cared not for them, says the Lord.
10 Because this is the
covenant which I will bequeath to the house of Israel after those days, says the
Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and I will write them on their
hearts, and I will be for God to them, and they shall be for a people to Me.
11 And they shall no more teach
each one their fellow-citizen, and each one his brother,
saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know Me, from the llttle one of
them to the great one of them.
12 For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousnesses, and I will not at all remember their sins and their
lawlessnesses.Ӡ
13 In the saying, New, He has made
the first old. And the thing being made old and growing aged is near
disappearance.
1¶ Truly, then, the first covenant
also had ordinances of service, and the earthly holy place.
2 For the tabernacle was prepared,
the first, in which was both the lampstand and the table, and the
setting out of the loaves, which is called holy.
3 But behind the second veil is
a tabernacle, being called Holy of Holies,
4 having a golden altar of
incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on all sides with gold, in
which was the golden pot having the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded,
and the tablets of the covenant;
5 and above it the cherubs
of glory overshadowing the mercy seat (about which is not enough time now
to speak according to a piece).
6 And these things having
been prepared thus, the priests go into the first tabernacle through all,
completely fulfilling the services.
7 But into the second the high
priest goes alone once in the year, not without blood, which he
offers on behalf of himself and the sins of ignorance of the people;
8 the Holy Spirit signifying by
this that the way of the Holies has not yet been made manifest, the
first tabernacle still having been standing;
9 which was a parable for
the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, but
as regards conscience, not being able to perfect the one serving,
10 but only on foods and drinks,
and various washings, and fleshly ordinances, until the time of
reformation being imposed.
11¶ But Christ having appeared as
a High Priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more
perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,
12 nor through the blood of goats
and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all
into the Holy of Holies, having procured everlasting redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and
goats, and ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those having been defiled, sanctifies
to the purity of the flesh,
14 by how much more the blood of
Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish
to God), will purify your conscience from dead works, to serve the living
God!
15¶ And because of this He is
Mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having occurred for redemption of
transgressions under the first covenant, the ones being called might
receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
16 For where a testament is,
the death of the one testating must be offered.
17 For a testament is firm
over dead ones, since it never has force when the one testating
lives.
18 From which neither the first covenant
was dedicated without blood.
19 For when every command
had been spoken according to Law by Moses to all the people, having taken the
blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop itself,
and he sprinkled both the scroll and all the people,
20 saying, “This is the
blood of the covenant which God enjoined to you.Ӡ
21 And he likewise sprinkled both
the tabernacle and all the service vessels with the blood.
22 And almost all things are
purified by blood according to the Law; and apart from shedding of blood not any
remission occurs.
23¶ Therefore it was needful
for the figures of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these;
but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ did not enter into the
Holy of Holies made by hands, antitypes of the true things, but into Heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,
25 not that He should often offer
Himself, even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies,
according to a year with blood of others;
26 since it was necessary for Him
to suffer often from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the
completion of the ages, He has been revealed for putting away of sin through
the sacrifice of Himself.
27 And as much as it is reserved to
men once to die, and after this, Judgment;
28 so Christ having been once
offered “to bear the sins of many,” Christ shall appear a second time
without sin to the ones eagerly awaiting Him unto salvation.†
1¶ For the Law having a shadow of
the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, appearing
according to a year with the same sacrifices, which they offer to the
carrying through, they never are able to perfect the ones drawing near.
2 Otherwise, would they not have
ceased to be offered? Because the ones serving did not still have
consciousness of sins, having once been cleansed.
3 But in these there is a
remembrance of sins according to a year,
4 for it is not possible
for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, coming into the
world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not will, but You prepared a
body for Me.
6 You were not well-pleased in
burnt offerings and sacrifices concerning sins.”
7¶ “Then I said, Behold, I have
come, in the roll of the Book it was written concerning Me, to do Your
will, O God.Ӡ
8 Above, saying that sacrifice and
offering, and burnt offerings and sacrifices concerning sin,” You willed
not, nor were Youwell-pleased (which are offered according to the Law),
9 then He has said, “Behold, I
have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first in order that
He may establish the second;
10 by which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body, of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And indeed every priest stands
according to a day ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which
can never take away sins.
12 But He, offering but one
sacrifice for sins, to the carrying through of all “sat down at the right
hand” of God,
13 from then on expecting “until
the hostile ones of Him are placed as a footstool” of His feet.†
14 For by one offering He has
perfected the carrying through of the ones being sanctified.
15 And the Holy Spirit witnesses to
us also. For after having said before,
16“This is the covenant
which I will covenant to them after those days, says the Lord: Giving My
Laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds”;
17“and their sins and their
lawlessnesses I will not remember no longer, not ever.Ӡ
18 But where remission of these is,
there is no longer offering concerning sins.
19¶ Therefore, brothers, having
confidence for the entering of the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus,
20 which He consecrated for us, a
new and living way through the veil; that is, His flesh;
21 and having a Great Priest
over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our body having been washed in pure water;
23 let us hold fast the confession of
the hope unyielding, for the One having promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider one another,
unto incitement of love and of good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling
together of ourselves, as is the custom of some, but exhorting, and by
so much more as you see the Day drawing near.
26 For if we are willfully
sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, there remains no more
sacrifice concerning sins,
27 but a certain fearful
expectation of judgment and “zealous fire being about to consume the
adversaries.Ӡ
28 If anyone did not regard the Law
of Moses, without compassions on “the word of two or three witnesses”
dies.†
29 How much worse punishment do you
think will be thought worthy to receive, the one having trampled
the Son of God, and having counted common the blood of the covenant in which he
was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know Him who has said,
“Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,” says the Lord. And
again, “The Lord will judge His people.”†
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God.
32 But call to mind the former days
in which having been enlightened you endured much struggle of sufferings.
33 Indeed, this, being exposed both
to reproaches and to afflictions; and this, having come to be sharer of the ones
so living;
34 for indeed you suffered together
in my bonds; and you accepted the plunder of your possessions with joy, knowing
yourselves to have a better and abiding possession in Heaven.
35 Therefore do not throw away your
confidence, which has great reward.
36 For you have need of enduring
patience, that having done the will of God you may obtain the promise.
37 For, yet a little as long as the
One coming will come, “and will not delay.”†
38“But the just shall live by faith;”
“and if he draws back,” “My soul is not well-pleased in him.”†
39 But we are not of a drawing back
to destruction, but of faith, to the preservation of the soul.
Hebrews 8–10 (NASB95) Back
8:1Now the main point in what has been said
is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand
of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2a minister in the sanctuary and in the
true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. 3For every high priest is appointed to
offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also
have something to offer. 4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest
at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; 5who
serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God
when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make
all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.” 6But now
He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the
mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. 7For if
that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion
sought for a second. 8For finding fault with them, He says, “Behold,
days are coming, says the Lord, When I will effect a new covenant With the
house of Israel and with the house of Judah; 9Not like the covenant which I made with
their fathers 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 I did not care for
them, says the Lord. 10“For this is the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into
their minds, And I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people. 11“And they shall not teach everyone his
fellow citizen, And everyone his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ For all will
know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. 12“For I will be merciful to their
iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more.” 13When He said, “A new covenant,” He has
made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is
ready to disappear. 9:1Now even the first covenant had regulations of
divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. 2For there was a tabernacle prepared, the
outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this
is called the holy place. 3Behind the second veil there was a
tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, 4having a golden altar of incense and the
ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar
holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod which budded, and the tables of the
covenant; 5and above it were the cherubim of glory
overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in
detail. 6Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually
entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7but into
the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood,
which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in
ignorance. 8The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way
into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is
still standing, 9which is a symbol for the present time.
Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the
worshiper perfect in conscience, 10since they relate only to food and drink
and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of
reformation. 11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the
good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12and not
through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered
the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13For if
the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who
have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,
14how much more
will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself
without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God? 15For this reason He is the mediator of a new
covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the
transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have
been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16For
where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made
it. 17For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force
while the one who made it lives. 18Therefore even the first covenant was not
inaugurated without blood. 19For when every commandment had been spoken
by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the
calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled
both the book itself and all the people, 20saying, “This is the blood of the covenant
which God commanded you.” 21And in the same way he sprinkled both the
tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22And
according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 23Therefore it was necessary for the copies
of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things
themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ did not enter a holy place made
with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear
in the presence of God for us; 25nor was it that He would offer Himself
often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is
not his own. 26Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often
since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages
He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27And
inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28so
Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a
second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await
Him. 10:1For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not
the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer
continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. 2Otherwise,
would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once
been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? 3But in
those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.
4For it is
impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5Therefore,
when He comes into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You have not
desired, But a body You have prepared for Me; 6In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices
for sin You have taken no pleasure. 7“Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (In the
scroll of the book it is written of Me) To do Your will, O God.’ ” 8After
saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them”
(which are offered according to the Law), 9then He said, “Behold, I have come to do
Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10By this
will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all. 11Every priest stands daily ministering and offering
time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; 12but He,
having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand
of God, 13waiting from that time onward until His enemies be
made a footstool for His feet. 14For by one offering He has perfected for
all time those who are sanctified. 15And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us;
for after saying, 16“This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, And on
their mind I will write them,” He then says, 17“And their sins and their lawless deeds I
will remember no more.” 18Now where there is forgiveness of these things,
there is no longer any offering for sin. 19Therefore, brethren, since we have
confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way which He
inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and since we have a great priest over the
house of God, 22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of our
hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24and let us consider how to stimulate one
another to love and good deeds, 25not forsaking our own assembling together,
as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you
see the day drawing near. 26For if we go on sinning willfully after
receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for
sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will
consume the adversaries. 28Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses
dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How
much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under
foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by
which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we
know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will
judge His people.” 31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of
the living God. 32But remember the former days, when, after being
enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings, 33partly by being made a public spectacle
through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those
who were so treated. 34For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and
accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for
yourselves a better possession and a lasting one. 35Therefore, do not throw away your
confidence, which has a great reward. 36For you have need of endurance, so that
when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 37For yet
in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. 38But My
righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no
pleasure in him. 39But we are not of those who shrink back to
destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
Hebrews 8-10 (WEB) Back
1 Now in the things which we are saying,
the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right
hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer
both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also
have something to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a
priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the
law;
5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly
things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the
tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the
pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”✡
6 But now he has obtained a more excellent
ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on
better promises has been given as law.
7 For if that first covenant had been
faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 For
finding fault with them, he said,
9 not
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers,
10“For this is
the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.
11 They will
not teach every man his fellow citizen,†
12 For I will
be merciful to their unrighteousness.
13 In that he says, “A new covenant”, he
has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near
to vanishing away.
1 Now indeed even the first* covenant had ordinances of divine
service, and an earthly sanctuary.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first
part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the
Holy Place.
3 After the second veil was the tabernacle
which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 having a golden altar of incense, and the
ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot
holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing
the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.
6 Now these things having been thus prepared,
the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the
services,
7 but into the second the high priest alone,
once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the
errors of the people.
8 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the
way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was
still standing;
9 which is a symbol of the present age, where
gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience,
of making the worshiper perfect;
10 being only (with meats and drinks and
various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
11 But Christ having come as a high
priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 nor yet through the blood of goats and
calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place,
having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the
ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the
cleanness of the flesh:
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new
covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive
the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where a last will and testament is,
there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
17 For a will is in force where there has been
death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
18 Therefore even the first covenant has not
been dedicated without blood.
19 For when every commandment had been spoken
by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the
calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled
both the book itself and all the people,
20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant
which God has commanded you.”✡
21 Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle
and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
22 According to the law, nearly everything is
cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 It was necessary therefore that the
copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the
heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places
made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself,
now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 nor yet that he should offer himself often,
as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his
own,
26 or else he must have suffered often since
the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been
revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die
once, and after this, judgment,
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are
eagerly waiting for him for salvation.
1 For the law, having a shadow of the
good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same
sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who
draw near.
2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be
offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no
more consciousness of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly
reminder of sins.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls
and goats should take away sins.
5
Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings
and sacrifices for sin.
7 Then I
said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me)
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and
offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire,
neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),
9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do
your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10 by which will we have been sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day
serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice
for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are
made the footstool of his feet.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever
those who are being sanctified.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for
after saying,
16“This is the
covenant that I will make with them:
17“I will remember their sins and their
iniquities no more.”✡
18 Now where remission of these is, there
is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness
to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new
and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 and having a great priest over God’s house,
22 let’s draw near with a true heart in
fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
having our body washed with pure water,
23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope
without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one
another to love and good works,
25 not forsaking our own assembling together,
as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as
you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for
sins,
27 but a certain fearful expectation of
judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without
compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
29 How much worse punishment do you think he
will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has
counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing,
and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs
to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.”✡ Again, “The Lord will judge his
people.”✡
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands
of the living God.
32 But remember the former days, in
which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with
sufferings;
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and
oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
34 For you both had compassion on me in my
chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that
you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness,
which has a great reward.
36 For you need endurance so that, having done
the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37“In a very
little while,
38 But the
righteous will live by faith.
39 But we are not of those who shrink
back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the
heavens.” 27This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the
removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order
that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28Therefore let us be grateful for receiving
a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable
worship, with reverence and awe,

3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham
believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
6just as David also speaks of the blessing
of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
16That is why it depends on faith, in order
that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not
only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of
Abraham, who is the father of us all, 17as it is written, “I have made you the
father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who
gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
23But the words “it was counted to him” were
not written for his sake alone, 24but for ours also. It will be counted to
us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
Romans 4:3, 6, 16-17, 23-24 (KJ3) Back
3 For what does the Scripture say?
“And Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.”†
6 Even as also David says of the
blessing of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
16 Because of this, it is of
faith, that it be according to grace, for the promise to be confirmed to
all the seed, not to the seed of the Law only, but also to the one of
the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
17 even as it is written, “I have
appointed you a father of many nations”; before God, whom he believed, the One
making the dead ones live, and calling the things not being as if
being,†
23¶ But it was not written on
account of him only, that it was imputed to him,
24 but also because of us, to whom
it is going to be imputed, to the ones believing on the One having
raised our Lord Jesus from the dead,
Romans 4:3, 6, 16–17, 23–24 (NASB95) Back
3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham
believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
6just as David also speaks of the blessing
on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
16For this reason it is by faith, in order
that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed
to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those
who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, 17(as it
is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him
whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being
that which does not exist.
23Now not for his sake only was it written
that it was credited to him, 24but for our sake also, to whom it will be
credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Romans 4:3, 6, 16-17, 23-24 (WEB) Back
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”✡
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on
the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the
offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of
the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father
of many nations.”✡ This is in the presence of him whom
he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are
not, as though they were.

to him for his sake alone,

accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,
