約既曰新、則以前者為舊、夫舊而漸衰者、殆近於消滅矣、

既以此約為新、則以彼約為舊、凡舊而漸衰徵者、必不久自廢、

既言新約、則以前約為舊、凡舊而漸衰者、必速歸於無有、

夫既曰新約、則舊者之見廢明矣。蓋天下之事、陳舊而呈衰老之象者、其離死亡不遠矣。

一方面，先前的诫命因软弱无能而废掉了，（律法本来就不能成就什么）；另一方面，一个更好的指望被引进来，靠这指望，我们就可以亲近上帝。

所以，若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人，旧事已过，都变成新的了。

为此，基督作了新约的中保；因为他的死，赎了人在第一个约之时所犯的罪过，使蒙召的人能得着所应许永远的产业。

那么，如果百姓藉着利未人的祭司职任能达到完全—因为百姓是在这职分下领受律法的—为什么还需要按照麦基洗德的体系另外兴起一位祭司，而不按照亚伦的体系呢？既然祭司的职分已更改，律法也需要更改。

那第一层帐幕是现今时代的一个预表，表示所献的礼物和祭物都不能使敬拜的人在良心上得以完全。这些事只不过是有关饮食和各种洁净的规矩，是属肉体的条例，它的功效是直到新次序的时期来到为止。

天地要废去，我的话却绝不废去。”
