For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for the second. [But it was not]. For finding fault with them he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will make with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, a new covenant, not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, for they continued not in my covenant, and I neglected them, says the Lord. read more.
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 will write them in their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. And they shall not teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their wickedness, and their sins and transgressions will I remember no more. By saying new, he made the first old; but that which is ancient and weak is about to perish.

The first covenant then had ordinances of divine service and a worldly sanctuary. For the first tabernacle was provided, in which were the candlestick and the table and the show bread, which is called the sanctuary. But behind the second vail is the tabernacle, called the inner sanctuary, read more.
having the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, in which were the golden vase that had the manna and Aaron's rod that budded and the tables of the covenant, and over it were the cherubs of glory, overshadowing the propitiation; of which it is not necessary now to speak particularly. And these being thus provided, the priests enter into the first tabernacle continually, performing the services, but into the second once a year only the chief priest [enters], not without blood, which he offers for his errors and those of the people, the Holy Spirit showing this, that the way into the sanctuary is not made manifest while the first tabernacle yet has a standing, which is a type of the time at hand, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshipper as to the conscience, only in meats and drinks and different baptisms, and external ordinances, imposed till the time of reformation. But Christ having come, a chief priest of the good times that were to come, with a greater and a more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, not with blood of goats and bullocks, but with his own blood, entered once into the sanctuary having found eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who with an eternal spirit offered himself without fault to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that death having been for a redemption of transgressions [transgressors] under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

For the law having a shadow of the good things that were to come, not the very likeness of the things, could not by the sacrifices which they offered continually every year perfect the offerers; if they could, would they not have ceased to be offered, because those serving would have had no longer a knowledge of sins, having been once purified? But in them there was a remembrance of sins, year by year; read more.
for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Wherefore, coming into the world, he says, A sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body didst thou prepare me. Whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wast not pleased with; then I said, Behold, I come,??n the volume of the book it is written of me,??o do thy will, O God. Saying before, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou didst not desire and wast not pleased with, which are offered according to the law, then he said, Behold, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. And every priest stood daily performing service and presenting often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but this [priest] having offered one sacrifice forever for sins, sat down on the right hand of God,

But where there is a forgiveness of these, an offering for sin is no longer required. HAVING therefore, brothers, confidence in respect to the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, which [entrance] he consecrated for us a new and living way through the vail, that is his flesh,

If therefore you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why do you practice ordinances as living in the world,??21 you shall not touch, you shall not taste, you shall not feel,??22 all which are to perish in the using??ccording to the commandments and instructions of men? Which have an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship and humiliation, and in a rigorous treatment of the body, [which is held] in no respect for the surfeiting of the flesh.
