οὐδὲν … ἐτελείωσεν. This is illustrated in Hebrews 9:6-9.

ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κ.τ.λ. The better punctuation is “There results a disannulment of the preceding commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness—for the Law perfected nothing—but (there results) the superinduction of a better hope.” The latter clause is a nominative not to ἐτελείωσεν, but to γίνεται in Hebrews 7:18. The “better hope” is that offered us by the Resurrection of Christ; and the whole of the New Testament bears witness that the Gospel had the power of “perfecting,” which the Law had not. Romans 3:21; Ephesians 2:13-15, &c.
