Hebrews 8:6-7

Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant

⁶ But as it is, Christ ₁ has obtained a ministry that is _c as much more excellent than the old as _d the covenant _e he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. ⁷ _f For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
