Thematic Bible: Jesus Christ being surety


Thematic Bible




And it is yet more abundantly evident, that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, who is made not according to the law of a temporary command, but according to the power of an endless life. For He testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. read more.
For there is indeed a disannulling of the preceding command, on account of it's weakness and unprofitableness; for the law made nothing perfect, but the introducing of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God. Moreover inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath, (for they indeed are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:") by so much is Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
