'Obtained' in the Bible

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace by which we have been established, and we boast because of our hope in God's glory.

And so he obtained what he had been promised, because he patiently waited for it.

However, Jesus has now obtained a more superior ministry, since the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.
