Thematic Bible: Better priesthood


Thematic Bible



And inasmuch as he was made a priest, not without an oath, (for those priests were made such without an oath, but this one with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;) in so much has Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. read more.
And those priests, indeed, have been many, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office. But this man, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priest hood. Wherefore, he is able also to save through all time those who come to God by him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For such a high priest is suited to us, who is holy, harm less, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law makes men high priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, makes the Son, who is perfected forever.
