The glory of the old covenant lasted for only a short time. How much greater is the glory of the new covenant that lasts forever!
By calling this covenant “new,” God made the first one outdated. And what is outdated and obsolete will soon disappear.
So, because we have this work to do through God’s mercy, we don’t give up.
The glory of the old covenant is nothing compared with the far greater glory of the new covenant.
Since we have that kind of hope, we are very bold.
