如果那短暂的有荣光，那长存的就更有荣光了。

若那废掉的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。

若是那逐渐褪色的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。

若是那逐渐褪色的有荣光，这长存的就更有荣光了。

那渐渐消逝的尚且有荣耀，这永远长存的更是荣耀无比。

这样，那渐渐消失的尚且带有荣光，何况这长存的，难道不更带有荣光吗？

若那廢掉的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。

若是那逐漸褪色的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。

若是那逐漸褪色的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。

那漸漸消逝的尚且有榮耀，這永遠長存的更是榮耀無比。

如果那短暫的有榮光，那長存的就更有榮光了。

那漸漸消逝的制度若是通過榮光而立，這長存的就越發帶着榮光了。

這樣，那漸漸消失的尚且帶有榮光，何況這長存的，難道不更帶有榮光嗎？

蓋暫存者若榮、則永存者更榮矣、○

暫有者若榮、則永存者更榮、

若將廢者有榮、則永存者更有榮、○

夫終須廢棄之臨時制度、且產生於光榮之中、則其永久者之光榮、又為何如！

And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

The glory of the old lasts for only a short time. How much greater is the glory of the new! It will last forever.

For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!

For if what was set aside was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

For if what was fading away was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

For if that which is done away[ was] glorious, much more that which remaineth[ is] glorious.

For if what was made ineffective came with glory, how much more has what remains come in glory!

For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

律法的出现，是要叫过犯增多；然而罪在哪里增多，恩典就更加增多了。罪藉着死掌权；照样，恩典也藉着义掌权，使人藉着我们的主耶稣基督进入永生。

神既然说到新的约，就是把前约当作旧的了；那变成陈旧衰老的，就快要消逝了。

只有耶稣是用誓言立的，因为那立他的对他说：“主已经起了誓，决不改变，你永远作祭司。”耶稣既然是用誓言立的，就成了更美好的约的保证。一方面，从前那些作祭司的，因为受死亡的限制，不能长久留任，所以人数众多。另一方面，因为耶稣是永远长存的，就拥有他永不更改的祭司职位。因此，那些靠着他进到神面前的人，他都能拯救到底；因为他长远活着，为他们代求。

所以，我们既然蒙了怜悯，得着这职分，就不沮丧，

他使我们有资格作新约的仆役，这新约不是从仪文来的，而是从圣灵来的；因为仪文会使人死，而圣灵却使人活。如果那以文字刻在石上使人死的律法的工作，尚且带有荣光，以致以色列人因着摩西脸上短暂的荣光，不能注视他的脸，

你们要谨慎，不要弃绝那位说话的，因为从前的人弃绝了那位在地上警戒他们的，尚且不能逃罪；何况现在我们背弃那位从天上警戒我们的呢？当时他的声音震动了地；现在他却应许说：“下一次，我不但要震动地，还要震动天。”“下一次”这句话，是表明那些被震动的，要像被造之物那样被除去，好使那些不能震动的可以留存，因此，我们既然领受了不能震动的国，就应该感恩，照着神所喜悦的，用虔诚敬畏的心事奉他；因为我们的神是烈火。
