The use of συντɛλέω to speak of God's ‘completion’ of the new covenant (Heb 8.8) has generated various explanations. Yet none of them factor in an important clue in Hebrews, namely, the rest discourse. By establishing literary and theological connections between Heb 3.7–4.13 and 8.8–12, this study argues that the promise of the completion of the new covenant evokes the completion of creation and its ensuing sabbath rest. Such an evocation brings to surface a logic of Christology and new creation embedded in Hebrews.

“我要完成新约”（希伯来书 8.8）：希伯来书中的基督论和新创造

使用 συντɛλέω 来谈论上帝对新约的“完成”（希伯来书 8.8）产生了各种解释。然而，它们都没有考虑到希伯来书中的一个重要线索，即安息话语。通过在希伯来书 3.7-4.13 和 8.8-12 之间建立文学和神学联系，本研究认为新约完成的应许唤起了创造的完成及其随之而来的安息日。这种唤起使希伯来书中所蕴含的基督论和新创造的逻辑浮出水面。
