For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater,

For men verily swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction.

And without all contradiction, the less is blessed of the greater.

But Christ being come, an high-priest of good things to come, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle,

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he looked off unto the recompence of reward.
