Hebrews 8:4-6
New Life Version
4 If Christ were on the earth, He would not be a religious leader such as these. The religious leaders on earth give gifts like the Law says. 5 Their work shows us only a picture of the things in heaven. When Moses was putting up the tent to worship in, God told him, “Be sure you make the tent for worship like I showed you on Mount Sinai.” (A)
6 But Christ has a more perfect work. He is the One Who goes between God and man in this new and better way. The New Way of Worship promises better things.

Hebrews 8:4-6
New International Version
4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(A) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(B) and shadow(C) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(D) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](E) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(F) of which he is mediator(G) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
