31 (A)Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a (B)new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the (C)covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I (D)took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My (E)covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “For (F)this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “(G)I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and (H)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will (I)not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all (J)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will (K)forgive their wrongdoing, and their (L)sin I will no longer remember.”

31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant(B)
    I made with their ancestors(C)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,(D)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband(E) to[a] them,[b]
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds(F)
    and write it on their hearts.(G)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(H)
34 No longer will they teach(I) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know(J) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive(K) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins(L) no more.”

13 For if (A)the blood of goats and bulls, and (B)the [a]ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the [b]cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will (C)the blood of Christ, who through [c](D)the eternal Spirit (E)offered Himself without blemish to God, (F)cleanse your conscience from (G)dead works to serve (H)the living God?

15 For this reason (I)He is the (J)mediator of a (K)new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been (L)called may (M)receive the promise of (N)the eternal inheritance.

13 The blood of goats and bulls(A) and the ashes of a heifer(B) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(C) offered himself(D) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(E) from acts that lead to death,[a](F) so that we may serve the living God!(G)

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(H) of a new covenant,(I) that those who are called(J) may receive the promised(K) eternal inheritance(L)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(M)
