Hebrews 7:19-28

19(for the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothing perfectG5048), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hopeG1680, through which we drawG1448 nigh unto GodG2316. 20And inasmuch as it isG1510 not without the taking of an oathG3728 21(for they indeed have been made priestsG2409 without an oathG3728; but he with an oathG3728 by him that saith of him,

The LordG2962 sware and will not repent himself,Thou art a priestG2409 for ever);

22by so muchG5118 alsoG2532 hath JesusG2424 becomeG1096 the surety of a better covenantG1242. 23And they indeed have beenG1510 made priestsG2409 manyG4183 in number, because that by deathG2288 they areG1510 hinderedG2967 from continuingG3887: 24but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthoodG2420 unchangeable. 25Wherefore alsoG2532 he is ableG1410 to saveG4982 to the uttermost them that drawG4334 near unto GodG2316 through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

26For such a highG749 priestG749 becameG1096 us, holyG3741, guileless, undefiledG283, separatedG5563 from sinnersG268, and made higher than the heavensG3772; 27who needeth not daily, like those highG749 priestsG749, to offerG4374 up sacrificesG2378, first for his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992: for this he did onceG2178 for all, when he offeredG4374 up himself. 28For the lawG3551 appointeth menG444 highG749 priestsG749, having infirmityG769; but the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, which was after the lawG3551, appointeth a SonG5207, perfectedG5048 for evermore.
