And they indeed are many who were made priests, because by death they were prevented from abiding [in their office]: but this person, because he abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not over to another. Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high-priest was suitable to us, holy, inoffensive, spotless, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: who hath not daily need, as the high-priests, first, to offer sacrifice for their own sins, afterwards, for those of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. For the law constitutes men high-priests, though they have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which is since the law, constitutes the Son, unto eternity completely perfect.

But now hath Christ obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second. For finding fault with them, he saith, "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord; and I will accomplish for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant: read more.
not according to that covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I laid hold upon their hand to lead them up out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I took no longer care of them, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their understanding, even on their hearts will I inscribe them: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. And they shall no more teach every man his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the mean man of them unto the great among them. For I will be placable to their unrighteousnesses and their sins, and their iniquities I will never more remember." In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence.

the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station; which figurative representation [continues] unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services, as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation. read more.
But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that, death being suffered for the redemption of transgressions committed against the first testament, they who are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.
