Hebrews 7:20-28

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:

“The LordG2962 has swornG3660 andG2532 will not change His mindG3756G3338:‘YouG4771 are a priestG2409 foreverG1519G3588G165.’”1

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. 25ThereforeG3606 He is ableG1410 to saveG4982 completelyG1519G3588G38382 those whoG3588 draw nearG4334 to GodG2316 throughG1223 HimG846, since He alwaysG3842 livesG2198 to intercedeG1793 forG5228 themG846.

26SuchG5108 a high priestG749 trulyG1063 befitsG4241 usG1473—One who is holyG3741, innocentG172, undefiledG283, set apartG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 exaltedG1096 aboveG5308 theG3588 heavensG3772. 27Unlike theG3588 other high priestsG749, He doesG2192 notG3756 needG318 to offerG399 dailyG2596G2250 sacrificesG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 His ownG2398 sinsG266 and thenG1899 forG3588 the sins of theG3588 peopleG2992; HeG4160G3778 sacrificed for sin once for allG2178 when He offered upG399 HimselfG1438. 28ForG1063 theG3588 lawG3551 appointsG2525 as high priestsG749 menG444 who areG2192 weakG769; butG1161 theG3588 oathG3728, whichG3588 came afterG3326 theG3588 lawG3551, appointed the SonG5207, who has been made perfectG5048 foreverG1519G3588G165.
