For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,

For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
