Hebrews 7:16-24
16one whoG3739 has becomeG1096 a priest notG3756 byG2596 a lawG3551 of successionG1785G4560, butG235 byG2596 the powerG1411 of an indestructibleG179 lifeG2222. 17ForG1063 it is testifiedG3140:
18SoG3303G1063 the formerG4254 commandmentG1785 isG1096 set asideG115 becauseG1223 itG846 was weakG772 andG2532 uselessG512 19(forG1063 theG3588 lawG3551 made nothing perfectG5048G3762), andG1161 a betterG2909 hopeG1680 is introducedG1898, byG1223 whichG3739 we draw nearG1448 to GodG2316.
20AndG2532G2596 noneG3756 of thisG3745 happened withoutG5565 an oathG3728. ForG1063 others becameG1096 priestsG2409 withoutG5565 an oathG3728, 21butG1161 Jesus became a priest withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 theG3588 One who saidG3004 toG4314 HimG846:
22Because ofG2596 thisG5118 oath, JesusG2424 has becomeG1096 the guaranteeG1450 of a betterG2909 covenantG1242.
23NowG2532G3303 thereG1510 have beenG1096 manyG4119 other priestsG2409, sinceG1223 deathG2288 prevented them fromG2967 continuingG3887 in office. 24ButG1161 becauseG1223 Jesus livesG3306 foreverG1519G3588G165, He hasG2192 a permanentG531 priesthoodG2420.
