若是那逐渐褪色的有荣光，这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。

那渐渐消逝的尚且有荣耀，这永远长存的更是荣耀无比。

如果那短暂的有荣光，那长存的就更有荣光了。

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.

而且加添了律法，使得过犯增加，只是罪在哪里增加，恩典就在哪里越发丰盛了。所以，正如罪藉着死掌权；照样，恩典也藉着义掌权，使人因我们的主耶稣基督得永生。

既然上帝提到“新的约”，那么第一个约就成为旧的了；而那渐旧渐衰的必然很快消逝了。

只有耶稣是起誓立的，因为那位立他的对他说：“主起了誓，绝不改变。你是永远为祭司。”既是起誓立的，耶稣也作了更美之约的中保。一方面，那些成为祭司的数目本来多，是因为受死亡限制不能长久留住。另一方面，这位既是永远留住的，他具有不可更换的祭司职任。所以，凡靠着他进到上帝面前的人，他都能拯救到底，因为他长远活着为他们祈求。

所以，既然我们蒙怜悯受了这事奉的责任，就不丧胆，

他使我们能配作新约的执事，不是文字上的约，而是圣灵的约；因为文字使人死，圣灵能使人活。那用字刻在石头上属死的事奉尚且有荣光，以致以色列人因摩西脸上那逐渐褪色的荣光不能定睛看他的脸，

你们总要谨慎，不可拒绝那向你们说话的，因为那些拒绝了在地上警戒他们的，尚且不能逃罪，何况我们违背那从天上警戒我们的呢？当时他的声音震动了地，但如今他应许说：“再一次我不单要震动地，还要震动天。”这“再一次”的话是指明被震动的要像受造之物一样被挪去，使那不被震动的能常存。所以，既然我们得了不能被震动的国度，就要感恩，照着上帝所喜悦的，用虔诚、敬畏的心事奉上帝，因为我们的上帝是吞灭的火。
