Moreover, forasmuch as he was not [made priest] without an oath, (for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:") by so much is Jesus become the surety of a better testament. read more.
And they indeed are many who were made priests, because by death they were prevented from abiding [in their office]: but this person, because he abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not over to another. Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high-priest was suitable to us, holy, inoffensive, spotless, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: who hath not daily need, as the high-priests, first, to offer sacrifice for their own sins, afterwards, for those of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. For the law constitutes men high-priests, though they have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which is since the law, constitutes the Son, unto eternity completely perfect.
