Nova Aliança

11 For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

12 That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

16 Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

17 For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

18 So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.

19 For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,

20 Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you.

17 So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

18 But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

19 That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

20 So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

21 For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

4 And this is the certain faith which we have in God through Christ:

5 Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;

6 Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.

31 See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah:

32 Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; which agreement was broken by them, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

33 But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

34 And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.

14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

15 And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

1 For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

2 For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

3 But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.

4 Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

10 And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

27 And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

28 Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

13 When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

22 By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

20 And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

6 But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

7 For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.
