Perfection

For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the

elemental things of the world.

and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;

What

For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;

Another

And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

just as He says also in another passage,
“You are a priest forever
According to

the order of Melchizedek.”

where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
