For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

now by stiling the second a new alliance, he has antiquated the first. but to be antiquated and obsolete is next to being abolished.
