* But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry , by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant , which was established upon better promises . * For if that first covenant had been faultless , then should no place have been sought for the second . * For finding fault with them , he saith , Behold , the days come , saith the Lord , when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah : * Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt ; because they continued not in my covenant , and I regarded them not , saith the Lord . * For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days , saith the Lord ; I will put my laws into their mind , and 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 man his neighbour , and every man his brother , saying , Know the Lord : for all shall know me , from the least to the greatest . * For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness , and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more . * In that he saith , A new covenant , he hath made the first old . Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away .
