Hebrews 7:18-28 ▼

18 for an annulling indeed comes of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness

19 (for nothing did the Law perfect), and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

20 And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath

21 (for those indeed apart from oath have become priests, and He [became priest] with an oath through Him who is saying to Him, “The LORD swore, and will not regret, You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”),

22 by so much also has Jesus become guarantee of a better covenant,

23 and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

24 and He, because of His remaining throughout the age, has the inviolable priesthood,

25 from where also He is able to save to the very end, those coming through Him to God—ever living to make intercession for them.

26 For also such a Chief Priest was fitting for us—holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and having become higher than the heavens,

27 who has no daily necessity, as the chief priests, to first offer up sacrifice for His own sins, then for those of the people; for this He did once, having offered up Himself;

28 for the Law appoints men [as] chief priests, having weakness, but the word of the oath that [is] after the Law [appoints] the Son having been perfected throughout the age.
