21(for they indeedG3303 becameG1096 priestsG2409 withoutG5565 an oathG3728, but He with an oathG3728 throughG1223 the One who saidG3004 to Him, “1The LordG2962 has swornG3660 And 2will not changeG3338 His mindG3338, ‘You are a priestG2409 3foreverG165’”); 22soG5118 muchG5118 the moreG2596 alsoG2532 JesusG2424 has becomeG1096 the 4guaranteeG1450 of 5a betterG2909 covenantG1242.
236The 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 7foreverG165, holdsG2192 His priesthoodG2420 permanentlyG531. 25ThereforeG3606 He is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to 8saveG4982 9foreverG1519G3838 thoseG3588 who 10drawG4334 nearG4334 to GodG2316 throughG1223 Him, since He alwaysG3842 livesG2198 to 11makeG1793 intercessionG1793 for them.
