Hebrews 7:23-28
231The 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 2foreverG165, holdsG2192 His priesthoodG2420 permanentlyG531. 25ThereforeG3606 He is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to 3saveG4982 4foreverG1519G3838 thoseG3588 who 5drawG4334 nearG4334 to GodG2316 throughG1223 Him, since He alwaysG3842 livesG2198 to 6makeG1793 intercessionG1793 for them.
26For it was fittingG4241 for us to have suchG5108 a 7highG749 priestG749, 8holyG3741, 9innocentG172, undefiledG283, separatedG5563 from sinnersG268 and 10exaltedG5308 above the heavensG3772; 27whoG3739 does not needG318 dailyG2596G2250, likeG5618 thoseG3588 highG749 priestsG749, to 11offerG399 up sacrificesG2378, 12firstG4387 for His ownG2398 sinsG266 and thenG1899 for the sins of the peopleG2992, becauseG1063 thisG3778 He didG4160 13onceG2178 for allG2178 when He 14offeredG399 up HimselfG1438. 28For the LawG3551 appointsG2525 menG444 as highG749 priestsG749 15who are weakG769, but the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, which came afterG3326 the LawG3551, appoints 16a SonG5207, 17madeG5048 perfectG5048 foreverG165.
