Hebrews 7:18-25 (Epistle)
- 18
- For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,
- 19
- for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
- 20
- And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath
- 21
- (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: “The LORD has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’”),
- 22
- by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.
- 23
- Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.
- 24
- But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
- 25
- Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
