Hebrews 7:11-18

11NowG3767 ifG1487 perfectionG5050 could have been attainedG1510 throughG1223 theG3588 LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420 (forG1063 onG1909 this basisG846 theG3588 peopleG2992 received the lawG3549), whyG5101 was there stillG2089 needG5532 for anotherG2087 priestG2409 to appearG450—one inG2596 theG3588 orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198 andG2532 notG3756 inG2596 theG3588 orderG5010 of AaronG2? 12ForG1063 when theG3588 priesthoodG2420 is changedG3346, the lawG3551 mustG1537G318 be changedG3331G1096 as wellG2532.

He ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG3778 are saidG3004 belonged toG3348 a differentG2087 tribeG5443, fromG575 whichG3739 no oneG3762 has ever servedG4337 at theG3588 altarG2379. 14ForG1063 it is clearG4271 thatG3754 ourG1473 LordG2962 descendedG393 fromG1537 JudahG2448, a tribeG5443 as toG1519 whichG3739 MosesG3475 saidG2980 nothingG3762 aboutG4012 priestsG2409.

15AndG2532 this point isG1510 evenG2089 moreG4053 clearG2612 ifG1487 anotherG2087 priestG2409 likeG3665 MelchizedekG3198 appearsG450, 16one whoG3739 has becomeG1096 a priest notG3756 byG2596 a lawG3551 of successionG1785G4560, butG235 byG2596 the powerG1411 of an indestructibleG179 lifeG2222. 17ForG1063 it is testifiedG3140:

“YouG4771 are a priestG2409 foreverG1519G3588G165inG2596 theG3588 orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.”1

18SoG3303G1063 the formerG4254 commandmentG1785 isG1096 set asideG115 becauseG1223 itG846 was weakG772 andG2532 uselessG512
