    • 9:15

      a mediator of a new covenant: See study note on 1Ti 2:5 and Glossary, “Mediator.”

      a new covenant . . . the former covenant: In the book of Hebrews, the Greek term translated “covenant” is used 17 times, primarily to explain how the “new covenant,” foretold by Jeremiah, is superior to “the former covenant,” the Mosaic Law covenant. (Jer 31:31-34; Heb 8:9-13; see Glossary, “Covenant.”) First-century Christians would have understood this Greek word as it is used in the Septuagint, where it almost always rendered the Hebrew term for “covenant,” or “agreement.”​—Mt 26:28; Lu 1:72; Ac 3:25; Ro 11:27; 2Co 3:14.

      the everlasting inheritance: That is, the heavenly inheritance received by Christians who have been anointed with God’s holy spirit. (Ro 8:16, 17) It is only by means of the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus that the promise of this inheritance will be fulfilled.​—See study notes on Eph 1:14; Heb 3:1; 1Pe 1:4.
