- But 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.
- For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.
- For 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;
- NOT 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.
- "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.

- 如今耶穌所得的職任是更美的、正如他作更美之約的中保.這約原是憑更美之應許立的。
- 那前約若沒有瑕疪、就無處尋求後約了。
- 所以主指著他的百姓說、〔或作所以主指前約的缺欠說〕『日子將到、我要與以色列家、和猶大家、另立新約.
- 不像我拉著他們祖宗的手、領他們出埃及的時候、與他們所立的約.因為他們不恆心守我的約、我也不理他們.這是主說的。』
- 主又說、『那些日子以後、我與以色列家所立的約乃是這樣.我要將我的律法放在他們裡面、寫在他們心上、我要作他們的 神、他們要作我的子民.
