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

¹⁵ And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest, ¹⁶ who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life, ¹⁷ for He doth testify -- 'Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

¹⁸ for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness, ¹⁹ (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

²⁰ And inasmuch as it is not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests, ²¹ and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, 'The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

²² by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

²³ and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining; ²⁴ and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient, ²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens, ²⁷ who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself; ²⁸ for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that is after the law appointeth the Son -- to the age having been perfected.
