Hebrews 7:15-28 - Another Priest, Like Melchizedek

¹⁵ And it is yet more abundantly manifest: that according to the resemblance of Melchisedec has another priest risen, ¹⁶ Who according to the law of a fleshly command was not born, but according to the power of an indestructible life. ¹⁷ For he testifies, Thou a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec.

¹⁸ For there is truly an annulling of the command going before by its weakness and unprofitableness. ¹⁹ (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God.

²⁰ And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath: ²¹ (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)

²² According to this, Jesus has become security of a better covenant.

²³ And they truly are become many priests, by reason of death being hindered from remaining: ²⁴ And he, because he remains forever, has an inviolable priesthood. ²⁵ Wherefore he is able to save entirely those coming to God by him, always living to supplicate for them.

²⁶ For such a chief priest became us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and being higher than the heavens; ²⁷ Who has no necessity according to the day, as the chief priests, before to bring up sacrifices for their own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having brought up himself. ²⁸ For the law establishes men chief priests having weakness; but the word of the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath, after the law, the Son, having been perfected forever.
