Bible Verses About The Covenant

An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,

To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.

To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'

For finding fault, He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking them by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt--because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord, --

because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them,

because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;

for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

for where a covenant is , the death of the covenant-victim to come in is necessary,

for a covenant over dead victims is stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth,

whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated,

for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle,

saying, `This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'

and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle,

and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;
