For if that annulleda was introduced with glory, much rather that which abides subsists in glory.

JND Translation Notes

a
"That annulled," or "done away," may appear a little harsh, but the apostle uses it as a formula for the old covenant done away in Christ. If this be borne in mind, the sense will be clearer by the use of it. It contrasts "that annulled" with "that which abides." so vers. 13 and 14.

W. Kelly Translation

For if that to be done away [was] with glory, much more what abideth [is] in glory.
