But now he has obtained a superior ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a superior covenant, which has been enacted upon superior promises.


Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.

And the, Yet once, signifies the removal of the things being shaken--as of things that were made--so that the things not being shaken may remain.

God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.







But it is good for me to draw near to God. I have made lord LORD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works.

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw n

Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death. For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, read more.
so that the justice of the law might be fulfilled in us, those who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit.



as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee. And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David. Therefore also he says in another, Thou will not give thy Holy man to see decay. read more.
For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay. But he whom God raised up saw no decay. Be it known to you therefore, men, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you. And from all things of which ye could not be make righteous by the Law of Moses, in this man every man who believes is made righteous.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness. Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed. read more.
So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them. But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith.

For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching. Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins? But in them is a reminder of sins each year. read more.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body. In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased. Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God, saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law. Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second. By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ. And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins. But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting henceforth until his enemies are placed a footstool of his feet. For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, after indeed foretelling,




having abolished in his flesh the enmity--the law of the commandments in ordinances--so that he might create in himself the two into one new man, making peace,

For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.

Now we know that as many things as the law says, it says to those in the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become accountable to God.


where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

(And just as he says in another, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.)

having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, also blessed him. To whom also Abraham divided a tenth of all. Being actually translated, first, king of righteousness, and then also, king of Salem, which is king of peace, without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. read more.
And notice how great this man was, to whom also the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the best spoils. Now indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, although having come out of the loins of Abraham. But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises. And without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior. And here indeed, men who die receive tithes, but there, he who is testified about that he lives. And, so to speak, Levi also, the man who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated For the priesthood being changed, of necessity a change of law also occurs. For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to the altar. For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing about the priesthood. And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest, who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek. For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach God. And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath, but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
