- a. 8:3-13 Old Covenant replaced by better New Covenant. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer... In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.
- b. 9:1-28 Law as shadowy pattern of Christ's work. Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary... For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things...
- a'. 10:1-17 Old sacrifices replaced by Christ's sacrifice. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect... This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
- B. 10:18-37 Exhortation to endure. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus... For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
- C. 10:38-39 Live by Faith (Habakkuk 2:2-4). Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
- D. 11:1-40 Faith in Action. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen... And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
- C'. 12:1-2a Look to Jesus (Habakkuk 2:2-4). Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
- B'. 12:2b-17 Exhortation to endure. who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds... Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
- A'. 12:18-29 Old Covenant removal. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest... Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
