Thematic Bible: Jesus Christ being surety


Thematic Bible




And this is yet more abundantly clear if, after the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another Priest, who has become such, not according to the law of a transitory enactment, but according to the energy of an indissoluble life. For the words are in evidence, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. read more.
For there is a setting aside of a foregoing commandment, because of its weakness and unprofitableness (for the Law brought nothing to perfection); and there is the bringing in of a better hope by which we draw near to God; mightier because it was not promised apart from an oath. For although those priests became such without an oath, He had an oath form God who said to him, The Lord hath sworn and will not change, Thou art a priest forever. And by so much Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant.
