Hebrews 7:15-28 - Another Priest, Like Melchizedek
15 And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest, 16 who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. 17 For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."
18 For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.
20 And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest, 21 for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"
22 by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
23 And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death; 24 but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood; 25 wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such a highpriest also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 who hath not necessity daily, as the highpriests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. 28 For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.
