Thematic Bible: Jesus Christ being surety


Thematic Bible




And it is yet far more evident; if, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another Priest, Who hath been made Priest, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life; for it is testified of Him, "Thou art a Priest forever according to the rank of Melchizedek." read more.
For there is verily an annulling of a previous commandment, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness (for the law perfected nothing), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as it was not without the taking of an oath (for they, indeed, have been made priests without an oath; but He with an oath through Him Who said to Him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest forever"); by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
