Hebrews 7:19-28
19(for 1the LawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048), and on the otherG1161 handG1161 there is a bringingG1898 in of a betterG2909 2hopeG1680, throughG1223 whichG3739 we 3drawG1448 nearG1448 to GodG2316. 20And inasmuchG2596G3745 as it was not withoutG5565 an oathG3728 21(for they indeedG3303 becameG1096 priestsG2409 withoutG5565 an oathG3728, but He with an oathG3728 throughG1223 the One who saidG3004 to Him, “4The LordG2962 has swornG3660 And 5will not changeG3338 His mindG3338, ‘You are a priestG2409 6foreverG165’”); 22soG5118 muchG5118 the moreG2596 alsoG2532 JesusG2424 has becomeG1096 the 7guaranteeG1450 of 8a betterG2909 covenantG1242.
239The former priestsG2409, on the oneG3303 handG3303, existedG1510G1096 in greaterG4183 numbersG4183 becauseG1223 they were preventedG2967 by deathG2288 from continuingG3887, 24but Jesus, on the otherG1161 handG1161, becauseG1223 He continuesG3306 10foreverG165, holdsG2192 His priesthoodG2420 permanentlyG531. 25ThereforeG3606 He is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to 11saveG4982 12foreverG1519G3838 thoseG3588 who 13drawG4334 nearG4334 to GodG2316 throughG1223 Him, since He alwaysG3842 livesG2198 to 14makeG1793 intercessionG1793 for them.
26For it was fittingG4241 for us to have suchG5108 a 15highG749 priestG749, 16holyG3741, 17innocentG172, undefiledG283, separatedG5563 from sinnersG268 and 18exaltedG5308 above the heavensG3772; 27whoG3739 does not needG318 dailyG2596G2250, likeG5618 thoseG3588 highG749 priestsG749, to 19offerG399 up sacrificesG2378, 20firstG4387 for His ownG2398 sinsG266 and thenG1899 for the sins of the peopleG2992, becauseG1063 thisG3778 He didG4160 21onceG2178 for allG2178 when He 22offeredG399 up HimselfG1438. 28For the LawG3551 appointsG2525 menG444 as highG749 priestsG749 23who are weakG769, but the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, which came afterG3326 the LawG3551, appoints 24a SonG5207, 25madeG5048 perfectG5048 foreverG165.
