But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law. | But Jesus has now received a ministry that is far superior, for he is the mediator of a far better covenant that has been established on better promises. |
For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise. | You need to be steadfast if you want to do the will of God and receive what he has promised. |
