Hebrews 7:16-24
16who has been constituted not accordingG2596 to lawG3551 of fleshly commandmentG1785, but accordingG2596 to powerG1411 of indissoluble lifeG2222.
17For it is borne witnessG3140, Thou art a priestG2409 for ever accordingG2596 to the orderG5010 of Melchisedec.
18For there is a setting aside of the commandmentG1785 goingG4254 before for its weaknessG772 and unprofitableness,
19(for the lawG3551 perfectedG5048 nothing,) and the introduction of a better hopeG1680 by which we drawG1448 nigh to 1GodG2316.
20And by howG3745 muchG3745 [it wasG1510] not without the swearing of an oathG3728;
21(for they are become priestsG2409 without the swearing of an oathG3728, but he with the swearing of an oathG3728, by him who saidG3004, as to him, The LordG2962 has swornG3660, and will not repent [of it], Thou [art] priestG2409 for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec];)
22by so muchG5118 JesusG2424 becameG1096 surety of a better covenantG1242.
23And they have beenG1510 manyG4183 priestsG2409, on accountG1223 of beingG1510 hinderedG2967 from continuingG3887 by deathG2288;
24but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthoodG2420 unchangeable.
