So do not throw away your confidence, because it<n id="1" /> has great reward.

But<n id="1" /> now Jesus<n id="2" /> has obtained a superior ministry, since<n id="3" /> the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted<n id="4" /> on better promises.<n id="5" />p>

how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

For a tent was prepared, the outer one,<n id="1" /> which contained<n id="2" /> the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this<n id="3" /> is called the holy place.

This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.

<p class="bodytext">When he says above, &#8220;<b><i>Sacrifices and offeringsi>b> and <b><i>whole burnt offerings and sin-offeringsi>b> <b><i>you did not desire nor did you take delighti>b> in them&#8221;<n id="1" /> (which are offered according to the law),

And every priest stands day after day<n id="1" /> serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again &#8211; sacrifices that can never take away sins.

And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons?p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<i><b>My sonb>, <b>do not scornb>i><n id="1" /> <b><i>the Lord&#8217;s disciplinei>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>or give up when he correctsi>b><n id="2" /> <i><b>youb>.i>p>

Remember your leaders, who spoke God&#8217;s message to you; reflect on the outcome of their lives and imitate their faith.

The place where they serve is<n id="1" /> a sketch<n id="2" /> and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, &#8220;<b><i>See that you make everything according to the designi>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>shown to you on the mountaini>b>.&#8221;<n id="4" />
