(NASB ©1995) GWT: Jesus has been given a priestly work that is superior to the Levitical priests' work. He also brings a better promise from God that is based on better guarantees. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. ASV: But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises. BBE: But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things. DBY: But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises. WEY: But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, based upon sublimer promises. WBS: But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. WEB: But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law. YLT: and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned, | |
