- 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.

- But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
- For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
- But God found fault with the people and said: "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
- It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.
- This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
